Butler Snow LLP has expanded the firm’s Austin office with the addition of 14 attorneys, all of whom previously practiced at Enoch Kever PLLC.

“We are excited to welcome this talented group of attorneys to the firm,” said Christopher R. Maddux, chair of Butler Snow.  “Texas, and Austin in particular, are important markets for us and we’re excited to have such an experienced group join us who shares our commitment to teamwork and client service. Their experience and knowledge, especially in regulatory, energy, appellate and litigation areas, will be of great value to our clients.”

Attorneys joining Butler Snow’s Austin office are Sara Berkeley Churchin, Elana Einhorn, Craig Enoch, Heather Jones Holmes, Zackery Horton, Andrew Kever, Paula Lear, Melissa Lorber, Bill Moore, Shelby O’Brien, Carolyn Shellman, Martha Smiley, Jessica Soos and Gary Zausmer.

“We are very pleased to join Butler Snow,” said Craig Enoch, a co-founder of Enoch Kever and a leading member of the Austin team joining Butler Snow. “After many successful years, the attorneys of Enoch Kever realized that the next phase for our growth required expanded talent and expertise. Butler Snow offers outstanding service opportunities for our clients, and the firm’s culture is truly unique in today’s legal profession. This is a team that we want to be a part of and we know our clients will certainly benefit from this decision.”

Each of the attorneys joining Butler Snow will join the firm’s Specialized Advocacy practice group. In addition to a strong appellate practice, the group also focuses on assisting businesses to navigate the complex legal and regulatory environment encountered when intersecting with government entities.

“Both Butler Snow and Enoch Kever have strong government, regulatory, litigation and appellate practices,” said Andrew Kever, also a co-founder of Enoch Kever and leading member of the team joining Butler Snow. “Combining that experience and knowledge, not only in Texas but across Butler Snow’s footprint, will truly benefit clients operating in multiple states.”

Founded in 1954, Butler Snow offers a full range of business, litigation, government relations and regulatory services across a variety of legal practices. The firm’s Austin and Dallas locations opened in May of 2016 as the firm expanded into Texas. With these additions, the firm’s growth in Austin offers increased depth and breadth across many legal practice areas, further benefitting local, regional and national clients.

The attorneys and staff joining the firm will be located in Butler Snow’s Austin office in the SXSW building at 1400 Lavaca St, Suite 1000.
