“Hunton & Williams has had a substantial presence in Dallas since 2002. We have always been interested in increasing the depth and breadth of our practice in Dallas, specifically, and Texas, more generally, if the situation was right,” said Wally Martinez, managing partner of Hunton & Williams. “These high-quality lawyers align with our current national practices. Coupled with our strength in the energy sector, these additions will allow us to provide major capabilities in the energy lending arena.”
Patrick E. Mitchell, one of the new partners, will serve as the Dallas office managing partner and Curtis G. Carlson, long-time Hunton & Williams partner, as the office administrative partner. They will also be administratively responsible for the Houston office. In Austin, Chet A. Fenimore will serve as office managing partner and Jeanne “Zonnie” P. Breckinridge will serve as office administrative partner.
“All of the attorneys have explored several options over the past few months. It was important to everyone to find a firm that was compatible in terms of clients, practice areas, and culture,” said Mitchell, new Hunton & Williams’ Dallas office managing partner. “Each of these excellent lawyers ultimately decided Hunton & Williams was the best fit, and we are extremely pleased to join the firm.”
