Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business announced today that Hicks Johnson has been ranked as a leading law firm in the Texas Litigation: General Commercial practice area for 2024. Less than 1 percent of U.S. law firms receive this important distinction. Managing partner Andy Hicks and founding partner Logan Johnson were also ranked among the top lawyers in their market.

Hicks was recognized as “a brilliant thinker and strategist and a passionate advocate” who “never loses his cool.” One source noted, “His ability to convey confidence and decisiveness is thoroughly impressive.”

Sources praised Johnson as “dedicated, well-prepared, smart, strategic, and persistent. … He consistently obtains the best results for his clients.” “He has really great trial experience—a lot of litigators don’t,” one source said. “He can also think through things from a business standpoint, which is unique.”

Hicks Johnson’s trial team has defeated billions of dollars in claims for defendants and collected more than $500 million for plaintiffs across diverse industries. Widely regarded as formidable courtroom opponents, they are often called upon to take over complex, hard-to-win cases on the eve of trial. “If I can’t handle a case, they are the people I refer work to,” one practitioner commented. “Results matter, and they have delivered every time,” a firm client said. “The overall quality of their efforts is visible, and Logan would not be able to deliver like he does without a superb team behind him.” The firm moved up a band from its 2023 ranking.

As the legal industry’s preeminent ranking entity, Chambers bases its assessments on independent research conducted by a team of analysts who consider feedback from clients, peers, and other independent market sources. Firms and practitioners are ranked for legal ability, client service, commercial knowledge, diligence, and professional conduct.

“This year’s Chambers rankings reflect the exceptional results we have achieved for clients across the country,” Hicks said. Johnson added, “We are grateful to the clients and colleagues who shared their thoughts with Chambers’ research team. This enthusiastic feedback is a testament to our track record of success as well as the strong relationships we have been able to cultivate in Texas and beyond.”
