Mayer LLP

Team Mayer had a great time at the 2026 New Mexico Trucking Association Golf Tournament! ⛳️ From friendly competition to great conversations, it was an amazing day spent with others in the trucking community. Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a fun event!

Mayer attorneys Deborah Junek and Abigail Raney secured summary judgment in a wrongful death case in Andrews County, Texas, resulting in the dismissal of all claims with prejudice. By identifying a key dispositive issue early, Mayer successfully demonstrated the employee was not acting within the course and scope of employment at the time of the incident — resolving the matter efficiently through strategic motion practice.

What a weekend at the Battle of the Bayou! Huge congratulations to associates Ashley Purcell, Katherine Sartain, and Raygen Lee, for an incredible performance at this year’s Young Lawyers Mock Trial Tournament hosted by Judge Christine Weems in Harris County, Texas. The semifinals featured a Mayer vs. Mayer matchup! Katherine and Raygen advanced to the finals and earned a second-place finish, and Raygen took home the Best Overall Advocate honor. Six trials in one weekend, all while balancing active caseloads. This team showed true grit, preparation, and teamwork, and we couldn’t be prouder!

We're thrilled to share that Mayer has been named to the Texas Lawbook 50, ranking #25 among the largest business law firms in Texas and 7th among Texas-based firms. This recognition reflects the strength of our team, the trust of our clients, and our continued momentum in one of the most competitive legal markets in the country. We’re proud to help businesses navigate high-stakes, sophisticated legal matters across Texas and beyond!

A focused, trial-ready approach led to a strong result in a high-exposure broker case. Facing significant exposure just weeks before trial, Mayer attorneys, Kasia Victoria Daniec and Sarah Clark secured a favorable settlement. Congratulations to the team on a well-executed result.

Congratulations to Trent Rexing on being named a Thomson Reuters Stand-out Lawyer based on independent client nominations. We’re proud to see his work acknowledged in this way.

It’s been a busy (and fun) few weeks at Mayer! From team gatherings to celebrating National Administrative Professionals Day — and a few personal milestones along the way — we’ve had plenty of reasons to come together and recognize the people who keep everything moving. Because great work starts with great teams!

Congratulations to Wade McClure, Rob Rickman, and Rob Witmeyer on being named to D Magazine’s “Best Lawyers in Dallas” list! Their depth of experience and commitment to delivering results continue to make an impact for our clients.
