Jackson Walker

Jackson Walker is a full-service law firm based in Texas, with more than 500 lawyers working from six Texas offices: Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, San Angelo, and San Antonio. Dallas is its largest office, and the firm describes itself as the largest Texas-based firm, serving clients across the United States and abroad.

For property owners and developers the relevant practices sit across several groups: real estate, construction and development, construction litigation, condemnation and eminent domain and the litigation that goes with it, energy land use and municipal law, bankruptcy and restructuring, distressed asset buyer and seller representation, corporate and securities, and tax, including Qualified Opportunity Zone work. The firm publishes client alerts on Texas legislative and regulatory changes affecting those areas.

The firm has practiced since 1887 and says its Texas footprint gives it a deep network of contacts across the state. Its recognitions include 67 attorneys and 23 departments ranked in the 2024 Chambers USA guide, national rankings in 25 practice areas and regional rankings in 134 in the 2024 Best Law Firms list, No. 106 in the 2023 Am Law 200, and No. 114 in the NLJ 500. The Houston Business Journal ranked it the 2nd largest real estate law firm in 2023.

Rates are not published, and the office directories list separate main numbers rather than a single firm line, so route an inquiry through the office nearest the property.
