Nicole Williams Shares Firm’s Success in 2023, Litigation Trends, and More in Q&A

Thompson Coburn Dallas managing partner Nicole Williams spoke to The Texas Lawbook on the growth of the Dallas office, litigation trends in Texas, and the firm’s commitment to social justice work.

“Our focus on strategic growth across the country has led to some great additions, including here in Texas,” said Nicole on the Firm’s growth nationally and in Dallas. “It’s been an amazing rate of growth considering we started with four of us in Dallas just four years ago! We’re approaching 30 lawyers in Dallas, and those joining us in the past couple of years have included more of our former Thompson & Knight colleagues and high-profile hires like state Sen. Nathan Johnson and former Texas appeals court Justice Douglas Lang.”

Nicole also spoke about the social justice and pro bono causes championed by the Dallas partners, saying, “This area was really important to us in deciding to join Thompson Coburn four years ago. Many of the attorneys in our Dallas office now work on the firm’s social justice litigation team, which is also led from Dallas by my partners Jenny Ecklund and Elizabeth Myers, and we are so proud of the work we’ve done in this area. This has included matters related to reproductive health, DEI initiatives, sexual assault civil actions, police brutality, health care access, and protections for survivors of violence, among others.”
