Practice Areas

Thad is US Co-Head of Commercial Litigation and Managing Partner of Dallas.

Thad is a seasoned trial lawyer to whom clients turn for their most challenging litigation matters. He focuses on the representation of companies, boards of directors, executives and underwriters in high-stakes commercial disputes, including securities class actions, shareholder derivative cases, M&A litigation, tender offer litigation, proxy contest lawsuits, bankruptcy litigation and internal investigations.

He has won major victories for some of the most recognizable companies in the U.S. For example, Thad obtained dismissals for two matters on behalf of Tenet Healthcare, a securities case and the other a medical care case. He also won a putative environmental class action lawsuit for AT&T by first obtaining denial of class certification and then securing voluntary dismissal of the lawsuit. Thad led the successful defense of the National Football League (NFL) in a consumer class action brought by ticketholders to Super Bowl XLV—first obtaining a denial of class certification and then winning the subsequent federal jury trial against the remaining individual plaintiffs. He also obtained summary judgment for the NFL in two different lawsuits brought in Texas state courts by a fantasy football convention company.
