Texas firms have paid close attention this year as prominent members of Big Law, such as White & Case and Shearman & Sterling, opened offices in the Lone Star State and other firms lapped up laterals. But it’s not only big-name firms that are expanding in Texas.

Manning & Kass, Ellrod, Ramirez, Trester, a 175-lawyer firm, opened an office in Dallas earlier this month that is initially being staffed by partners who moved to Texas from the firm’s California offices. Segal McCambridge Singer & Mahoney, which is based in Chicago and has an office in Austin, has now expanded with an office in Houston with one lateral partner hire. The firm has more than 140 lawyers.
