Barnes & Thornburg LLP, a national law firm, announced today its expansion into Texas with the addition of two partners from Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP. The attorneys establishing Barnes & Thornburg’s Dallas office include Mark W. Bayer, who will serve as office managing partner, and Randy Gordon. With plans to make additional attorney hires in the coming months, the office will be temporarily located at 1717 McKinney Ave., Suite 700, in Dallas.
Strategically, Barnes & Thornburg’s entry into Dallas represents a natural next step in the expansion of the firm’s national footprint. The firm’s position of financial strength, including its low-cost structure and conservative balance sheet, has allowed for consistent growth in leading economic and employment centers. Notably, Texas is the second most populous state in the country, and the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington economy ranks in the top 10 among metropolitan areas.
