Reese Marketos is a 15-lawyer trial boutique that takes on a limited number of high-stakes commercial cases and tries them to verdict. The firm fields lean, partner-heavy teams of two to four lawyers and regularly faces off against the largest firms in the country, including Kirkland & Ellis, Skadden, Weil Gotshal, and Gibson Dunn.
The firm is frequently hired to step in on compressed timelines, often replacing larger national firms months before trial. Recent results include a whistleblower-side $1.64 billion False Claims Act judgment against a J&J subsidiary, a $52 million bench trial judgment against Energy Transfer, a take-nothing defense win for a fintech firm eliminating $90 million in claimed damages, a $100 million eve-of-trial FCA settlement, and an $8.93 million jury verdict ranked No. 1 in Texas for fraud in 2024.
Clients range from Fortune 500 corporations and major telecommunications companies to midstream energy operators, private equity sponsors, and whistleblower relators. Core sectors include energy, healthcare fraud, white-collar defense, IP, technology, and real estate disputes. The firm handles plaintiff and defense work across state and federal courts, business courts, the Delaware Court of Chancery, and commercial arbitration. Other recent firm recognition includes Law360's Trials Practice Group of the Year, Law360's MVPs of the Year, the National Law Journal's Winning Litigators–Plaintiffs.
No partner has left the firm in its 15-year existence.
