Susman Godfrey focuses its nationally recognized practice on just one thing: big - stakes commercial litigation -- with locations in Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle, and New York. When The American Lawyer recently held the first-ever "Litigation Boutique of the Year" competition, the firm was named one of the two top litigation boutiques in the nation. "These firms manage to combine cutting-edge technologies, palpable tastes for risk, and an old-fashioned sense of partnership," said The American Lawyer. "The rewards are obvious: Their clients are stellar, and so are their profits." In other words, Susman Godfrey represents its clients very well.
