Haynes and Boone
Haynes Boone is an international corporate law firm headquartered in the Harwood Historic District of Dallas, Texas. It is among the largest law firms based in the United States and provides services for more than 40 major legal practices. The firm has offices in Austin, Houston, New York City, San Francisco, Charlotte, Denver, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Shanghai, London, and Mexico City.
Haynes Boone was founded in 1970 by partners Richard D. Haynes (1936–2001), and Michael Boone, who had been his student at Southern Methodist University. The firm offers full legal services across multiple sectors, including energy, financial services, private equity and technology. Noted attorney Nina Cortell joined the firm after graduating law school in 1976, as its 13th attorney.
Haynes and Boone built their office from a securities practice, handling IPOs in Dallas from the late the 1960s onward. In 1984, the firm opened a second office in Fort Worth, followed by a third office in Austin two years later. Its San Antonio office opened in 1987, growing the firm to 166 lawyers.[citation needed] Haynes Boone expanded to Houston in 1990 through a merger with Watt, White & Craig.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) spurred the firm's next expansion. In 1994, it opened its first two offices outside of Texas: a cross-border branch in Mexico City and an out of state branch in Washington, D.C. At that time, the firm had established seven offices and had over 300 lawyers, 30 of whom were international lawyers.[citation needed] The firm continued to grow, adding offices in New York City in 2004, Orange County and Palo Alto in 2009, Shanghai in 2013, Chicago and Denver in 2015, London in 2016, the Woodlands in 2018, Charlotte in 2019, San Francisco in 2020 and Northern Virginia in 2023.[citation needed]
The firm advised then-incoming President George W. Bush prior to his sale of Harken Energy stock, in 1990.
In 1993, the firm won a $420 million for Exxon in an insurance coverage case against Lloyd's of London over the Exxon Valdez tanker spill in Alaska.
In 1997, it negotiated a settlement for the Catholic Dioceses of Dallas involving sexual molestation charges and its priests.
In 1999, it oversaw the merger between Exxon Corp and Mobile Oil Corp.
