Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business announced today that Schiffer Hicks Johnson (SHJ) has been ranked as a leading law firm in the Texas Litigation: General Commercial practice area for 2023. Less than 1 percent of U.S. law firms receive this important distinction.

SHJ’s trial team, led by managing partner Andy Hicks and founding partner Logan Johnson, has defeated billions of dollars in claims for defendants and collected more than $500 million for plaintiffs across diverse industries. Widely regarded as formidable courtroom opponents, they are often called upon to take over complex, hard-to-win cases on the eve of trial. According to clients and colleagues, the firm’s lawyers are “extremely intelligent,” “always well-prepared,” and “work around the clock until the desired outcome is achieved.” One source praised their “excellent general litigation skills as well as industry-specific domain knowledge.” The firm moved up a band from its 2022 ranking.

Hicks and founding partner Adam Schiffer were also ranked among the top lawyers in their market. Hicks was recognized as an “extremely knowledgeable, experienced, hard-working, and professional” lawyer. “He is a practical and articulate advocate who is very good on his feet,” one source noted. Other sources praised Schiffer for his “long history of successfully supporting his clients” as well as his reputation as a “tireless advocate and an exceptional lawyer.”

As the legal industry’s preeminent ranking entity, Chambers bases its assessments on independent research conducted by a team of analysts who consider feedback from clients, peers, and other independent market sources. Firms and practitioners are ranked for legal ability, client service, commercial knowledge, diligence, and professional conduct.

“The 2023 Chambers rankings reflect the exceptional results we have achieved for clients across the country,” Hicks said. Johnson added, “We are grateful to the clients and colleagues who shared their thoughts with Chambers’ research team. This enthusiastic feedback is a testament to our track record of success as well as the strong relationships we have been able to cultivate in Texas and beyond.”
