The Fears Nachawati Law Firm in Dallas announced the formation of an appellate practice led by veteran appellate and complex litigation lawyers Ann Saucer and Misty Farris. Saucer and Farris have high-level leadership experience preparing appellate briefs and written and oral arguments in complex cases. They have led appeals in state and federal courts and before the U.S. Supreme Court, including multidistrict litigation, class actions and high-profile complex litigation. They have provided appellate support internally for Fears Nachawati’s national complex litigation caseload and are now providing critical appellate support to outside trial lawyers and law firms.

“Misty and Ann are well-known in the legal community,” said firm co-founder Majed Nachawati in a statement by the firm. “We have been fortunate to have them supporting our litigation. There’s a great demand for the kind of high-quality, sophisticated work they do, and we’re excited about the opportunity to provide these services to other law firms.”
