HOUSTON (April 2018) – Four attorneys with Houston intellectual property firm Heim, Payne & Chorush have earned selection to the 2018 Texas Rising Stars list.
Recognized among the state’s top young lawyers are partners Eric J. Enger, Miranda Jones and Robert Allan Bullwinkel and associate Christopher First. All are being honored for their contributions to intellectual property litigation.
This is Mr. Enger’s 11th consecutive year to be listed as a Rising Star, and Ms. Jones’ third consecutive year. Mr. First is making his second appearance on the list, and Mr. Bullwinkel is being honored by Rising Stars for the first time.
“In any IP case, there’s so much on the line,” said firm partner Michael Heim. “It can mean the livelihood of hundreds of people, or even whether a business lives or dies. I’m thankful that I get to work with attorneys like these who consistently deliver the best results possible for our clients.”
Each year, the publishers of Texas Rising Stars recognize the best and brightest attorneys in the state. To qualify, lawyers must be 40 or younger, or must have been practicing law for less than 10 years.
