OLD SCHOOL VALUES.
CREATIVE THINKING.
Practice Areas
We try lawsuits, mediate disputes as neutrals, and provide strategic advice.
For more than three decades Butch Hayes has handled the most high-profile, complex, and important business and personal disputes imaginable. Butch has represented an array of clients from Fortune 100 Companies to individual executives, sports personalities, celebrities, and people and companies worthy of representation. He is Board Certified in Labor and Employment Law in Texas, is a licensed Mediator, and recipient of multiple state and national awards related to his practice. His philosophy is that a good lawyer can try just about any type of case (within reason), and that clients are best served by a lawyer who knows how to actually try a lawsuit rather than just “litigate” it.
The Firm’s practice involves a range of employment, trade secret, complex business, Title IX, contract, tort, and a host of private or sensitive matters. These disputes arise in trial, arbitration, or very quietly. We have tried to completion dozens of arbitrations as well as federal and state court trials across the country with a close to 90% victory rate.
We handle investigations, expert testimony, and a range of one-off problems that may not be easily characterized – always with the sensitivity and professionalism that they deserve.
MEDIATION
Butch is a licensed mediator who brings humor, insight, and a properly firm hand to the negotiation process. While he is particularly suited to mediate employment disputes, he is equally adept at understanding, analyzing, and fixing complex personal and business disputes.
Butch is available for full and half day mediation in person or virtually. Please contact us for additional information.
Our Professionals
Advice & Strategy
We spend a great deal of time working through problems with our clients. These take many forms, but frequently involve employment and business dilemmas with multiple moving parts. The goal is always to professionally achieve our client’s goals, whether it is a “soft landing” or escalation to litigation. We believe that a lawyer with first hand experience trying cases, and who knows how escalation plays out many steps ahead, is the best partner to help navigate conflicts.
If we can help a client avoid litigation or public attention where they are not wanted, we will. We believe that a trusted advisor always keeps the client’s priorities front of mind.
