Jackson Walker LLP’s Post

The new business court system is facing a shortage of transactional lawyers among applicants for the 10 trial judge positions. Despite attracting candidates with judicial, litigation, and state agency experience, transactional lawyers with expertise in shareholder disputes, securities claims, and governance issues are lacking. Byron Egan, who helped draft the legislation, emphasized the critical role of transactional lawyers in these courts with The Texas Lawbook. “If you’ve been doing transactions for a period of time, you’ve invariably come across controversies. You’ve been involved in litigation. You may not be a litigator but you’re going to understand what the litigation process is, you’re going to understand what the consequences of decisions are, the importance of making quick, informed, convincing judgment of these cases.” For more insights from Byron and details on the new courts: https://lnkd.in/d-P3Cft8 #businesscourt #businesslaw #Texaslaw #Texas #TheTexasLawbook
