Gregory Deans and Katherine Stepp, previously of Deans & Lyons, have partnered to form Deans Stepp Law, a Dallas law firm focusing on litigating complex business and tort cases. The firm will focus on commercial litigation, wrongful death, trucking liability, negligence, products liability, and banking litigation. The firm’s attorneys represent clients in Texas and nationwide. Deans and Stepp have a combined total of nearly four decades of experience trying cases for clients in courtrooms and in arbitrations. They have practiced law together since 2004. “Forming Deans Stepp Law helps us further concentrate on our areas of expertise in complex business cases, including overseeing national litigation for large corporations and bet-the-company cases,” said Deans, in a statement by the firm. Prior to co-founding Deans & Lyons in 2008, Deans was a partner at a large, Texas-based litigation firm. He earned his law degree from the University of Houston. “We will continue to serve our clients with the tenacity, strategy, and creativity they have come to expect from us,” said Stepp in a statement. Previously, Stepp practiced with Deans & Lyons and at the Dallas office of Beirne, Maynard & Parsons. She earned her law degree from the SMU Dedman School of Law.

Courtney Bowline has joined the firm as a partner. Bowline handles a variety of civil litigation cases in both state and federal courts. She was a partner at Deans & Lyons and, prior to that, practiced at a large national firm. Bowline earned her law degree from the University of Texas.
