About

Provided by Scott Douglass & McConnico LLP

Recognized as one of the finest trial and appellate firms in Texas, SDM represents clients in high-stakes, complex business disputes in venues across the country. Our deep roster of formidable trial and appellate advocates have the skill, insight, and reputation that can only be gained through years of real courtroom experience. Our clients hire us to handle disputes involving a wide array of industries and subject matters. Yet, a common thread runs through every matter: a complex problem that the client must solve. And it is in taking that complex problem—whatever the subject matter—and deriving a simpler, persuasive narrative, that our strength lies.


Business Torts

These cases often arise out of complex business and professional relationships and include claims based on fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, interference with existing and prospective business relationships, civil conspiracy, business disparagement, misappropriation of trade secrets, and other types of unfair competition. Because business tort cases often involve complex fact scenarios, they require strong investigative and organizational skills. Because such cases involve complex legal theories, they require innovative and creative legal analysis. With our strong academic backgrounds and years of practical experience, our attorneys are well suited to meet these demands.
