As one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the United States, Austin has become a strategic location for corporations of all sizes, with more corporate headquarters relocating to Austin than any other city in Texas. With capabilities in intellectual property (IP), healthcare, white collar, and corporate M&A, our Austin team is well positioned to support sophisticated businesses, investors, and sponsors operating in Texas and nationwide.
Our Austin lawyers are known for strong IP litigation and IP transactional capabilities, including an active presence in key patent forums such as the Western District of Texas, the Eastern District of Texas, and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.
Additionally, our Austin team includes a significant healthcare transactional practice, advising on inpatient and outpatient services, private equity investments, and transactions involving distressed healthcare assets. We offer deep familiarity with the Texas healthcare regulatory environment and a practical understanding of how federal regulations affect both day-to-day operations and complex transactions.
McDermott Will & Schulte’s Austin lawyers also provide strong capabilities in high-stakes white collar and regulatory matters, including defending organizations in federal and state investigations. Their experience can be particularly helpful as enforcement activity increases at both the federal and state levels.
Our corporate team advises on mergers and acquisitions across a range of industries, with a strong emphasis on private equity-backed transactions and sponsor-driven deal activity. The firm’s Austin lawyers collaborate closely with colleagues across Texas and the country to offer the full range of services that our clients require.
The Austin team is consistently recognized for legal skill and client service excellence by leading industry publications and directories, including Chambers USA, The Best Lawyers in America, The Legal 500 US, Texas Super Lawyers (Thomson Reuters), and Managing Intellectual Property.
Amanda Jester and Margaret Sampson are the managing partners of the Austin office.
