Austin lawyer Pike Powers has sued a financial company that hired him to develop business, alleging the company owes him more than $1 million in commissions.
Powers in 1978 opened the Austin office of Fulbright & Jaworski, which he led until 2004, with a break in 1983 to work for then-Texas Gov. Mark White. The firm is now called Norton Rose Fulbright. Powers is retired as a lawyer, but he works as a consultant, speaker and expert, and he's CEO of the Pike Powers Group, according to his complaint in Pike Powers v. Duff & Phelps.
