BREWER AND PRITCHARD

Founded in 1991 and based in Houston, Texas, the law firm of Brewer & Pritchard, PC, has embraced technology since the firm’s outset. It became the city’s first law practice, and one of the nation’s first, to institute telecommuting, which enabled staff members, including new parents, to work at home. Brewer & Pritchard pioneered the all-digital law library in Houston, commissioning a specially constructed CD-ROM tower in 1994. The following year, the leaders of the practice purchased a do... main name to create the first active website for an area law firm. In addition, Brewer & Pritchard became paperless at the beginning of the millennium, long before state and federal courts mandated electronic filings. The firm’s attorneys possess expertise in a wide range of practice areas, including corporate and securities, mergers and acquisitions, real estate, construction, insurance, and product liability, as well as in general business and financial and commercial matters. Brewer & Pritchard handles all phases of initial public offerings, internal corporate organization, U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission filings, and state and federal reporting. For mergers and acquisitions, the attorneys assess and recommend the most advantageous business combinations; write letters of intent; prepare confidentiality, asset purchase, and stock-exchange agreements; and conduct due-diligence investigations. They perform all duties necessary to close transactions. Cofounder and Principal J. Mark Brewer has acted as Managing Director of the practice since its inception. Recognized world-wide for his litigation and resolution skills in high-rise commercial-building defect and design cases, he has worked in state, federal, and Judge Advocate General courts, and he has won numerous jury verdicts with awards in the multimillions. Cofounder Thomas C. Pritchard, who leads the practice areas of mergers and acquisitions and corporate/securities, has closed more than $400 million in financing for clients in his two-decade career. Brewer & Pritchard, which also includes principal Sondra Jones Jurica and several associate attorneys, has held the prestigious AV peer-review rating with Martindale-Hubbell every year since 1992.
