Revenue grew by 10.3% at Texas firm Jackson Walker in 2019, largely thanks to some significant real estate and finance transactions, in a departure from previous years when big litigation matters drove revenue growth.

Managing partner Wade Cooper said the shift was due in part to the firm’s lateral hiring in real estate and finance, as well as some very active clients. Although he added that litigation continued as one of the firm’s strongest practices in 2019. And in an effort to add a market-leading practice, the firm is also growing its wealth planning practice and building a roster of wealthy business-owner clients, he said.
