Thompson & Knight's Houston offices are a bustling place, serving as focal points of the international firm's energy practice, as well as litigation, real estate, corporate, securities, finance and banking, among many other things. In selecting a leader for the office, the firm turned to longtime Thompson & Knight lawyer Alfred M. Meyerson, a highly respected commercial real estate attorney who already serves as the firm-wide leader of the Real Estate and Banking Practice Group. He is a widely published authority on commercial real estate and a longtime supporter of Houston civics issues.

"This represents a tremendous professional opportunity for me to reinforce Thompson & Knight's role in the diverse and dynamic Houston economy," says Mr. Meyerson. "This office serves as the centerpiece for the Firm's comprehensive energy practice, as well as our expanding responsibilities for clients with interests in Latin America, and I look forward to a number of exciting challenges in supporting all of our clients, attorneys, and staff." 

With 70 attorneys, Houston is the second largest office of the 350-attorney firm. In addition to other Texas offices in Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth, and San Antonio, Thompson & Knight also maintains a New York office and international offices and associations in Mexico, North Africa, Europe, and Asia.
