Trial firm Reid Collins & Tsai has opened an office in Wilmington, Delaware, and hired two lawyers in that market, where the firm's lawyers have tried lawsuits for several years.

"I've been going to Delaware for 15, 16 years. It's one of the big battlegrounds for corporate disputes. I've always wanted a Wilmington office," said founding member William T. Reid IV, who works in the firm's Austin office. "At any given time, even right now, today, we have half a dozen active matters in Delaware." The 37-lawyer firm also has offices in Dallas, New York and Washington, D.C.
