Testimonials


"One huge advantage Haynes and Boone has over many other firms is that the lawyers at Haynes and Boone really support each other's efforts and development.  Most of us can recount numerous specific examples of where other lawyers at this firm have gone out of their way to help us, when they had no obligation to do it.  Over the course of one's career, it is those "helping hands" that can make all the difference."

"In the final analysis, the most important contribution a firm can make to a lawyer is to invest in that lawyer's development and practice.  In my career, the firm's investments in me have made all the difference."

"I love this firm because it is committed to the issues that are most important to me: the provision of top-notch legal services to top-tier clients, diversity in both practice areas and lawyers, mentorship and advancement of associates, issues affecting women in the profession, and a team-oriented culture that values associates as colleagues, not fungible commodities. Haynes and Boone is a great firm to have on a resume, but I would be perfectly happy if at the end of my career it were the only firm on my resume."

"Haynes and Boone trusts its associates. The firm does not think twice about putting its young attorneys in client meetings, high profile deals, or high stakes litigation. Haynes and Boone is not only willing to put its associates in these positions, but it expects them to actively participate and often take a lead role. I am convinced that no other firm in Texas would have allowed me the same level of early experience that I have gained at Haynes and Boone."
