Georgia firm Taylor English Duma has made an entrance to the Texas market by hiring former Kelley Drye & Warren partner Bryce Linsenmayer, who will work as a remote attorney based in Houston.

Taylor English has about 160 lawyers, but 25 of them work remotely from California, Illinois, Virginia, Georgia, Florida and now Texas, and report into the firm’s Atlanta hub. That group of remote lawyers makes up a key part of the firm’s geographic strategy, by allowing it to seize on hot markets with a lesser financial investment.
