FORT WORTH, TEXAS – JUNE 17, 2010
Wick Phillips, a regional law firm specializing in complex commercial litigation, has staked its claim in Tarrant County.
Known for its expertise in commercial litigation, dispute resolution, labor and employment law, regulatory compliance, intricate corporate transactions, and bankruptcy related representation, Wick Phillips has expanded its previous Fort Worth “satellite” office to open a full-service office at 100 Throckmorton Street in One Tandy Center. The Fort Worth office will be managed by partner Brant C. Martin.
A Fort Worth native, Martin has had an established law practice in Fort Worth for a number of years, serving mid-sized to Fortune 500 companies alike. “The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is an expansive market for legal services which is hard to serve effectively with a single office,” said Martin. “The Fort Worth business community has distinct needs that are best met by a law firm with a strong local presence and knowledge of the unique needs of Fort Worth clients. Given the steady increase of business development in Tarrant County and our experience in this market, opening a Fort Worth office just makes sense.”
Martin added, “Fort Worth not only has its own distinct culture, it’s one of the most vital business communities in the world. As we continue to grow as a firm ourselves, opening an office specifically focused on Fort Worth will be a great benefit to us and our clients alike.”
Bryan Wick, a founding partner, agreed. “Our firm was formed to give clients the kind of personal attention and value-added services that are rare in today’s legal market. All of our partners left leading law firms to develop a practice that provides big firm experience with small firm efficiency. Brant’s background gives him the ideal perspective for expanding our services-and our philosophy-throughout Tarrant County.”
Prior to joining Wick Phillips, Martin was with Puls, Taylor & Woodson in Fort Worth, and he also practiced with Baker & McKenzie, an international law firm with a global presence. Martin attended Southern Methodist University School of Law, where he was class valedictorian and Editor-in-Chief of the SMU Law Review.
Martin is a past president of the Tarrant County Young Lawyers Association. He was listed in Fort Worth Business Press’ “40 Under 40” as well as D Magazine’s “Best Lawyers Under 40.” Martin’s legal expertise includes all facets of trial and commercial litigation.
