We are excited to announce that Fraser Holmes has joined Schiffer Hicks Johnson as an associate.

Fraser litigates complex commercial disputes at both the trial and appellate levels, as well as in arbitration proceedings. He has drafted dispositive and non-dispositive briefs, prepared depositions, and conducted discovery for cases in state and federal court involving a wide range of claims, including private equity, healthcare, bankruptcy, and anticompetition.

Fraser brings three years of federal clerkship experience to his practice at SHJ. Before joining the firm, he clerked for the Hon. Bridget Bade of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Previously, he clerked for the Hon. Sam Sparks of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. Fraser also worked as an associate at Sidley Austin’s Dallas office. He obtained a J.D. with honors from The University of Texas School of Law, an M.A. in Political Theory from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a B.A. from Hendrix College.

“I’ve long been impressed by SHJ’s track record and quality of work,” Fraser said. “Between the firm’s entrepreneurial spirit, collaborative culture, and boundless opportunities for growth, it’s the ideal place for any young lawyer to build their practice. I look forward to developing mine alongside a team of talented lawyers.”

Managing partner Andy Hicks commented, “Fraser is a highly skilled litigator who knows the federal court system inside and out. His knowledge, experience, and capabilities make him a tremendous asset to our trial and appellate practices.”
