"We are fortunate to have such a formidable, well-respected IP attorney join our ranks," said E. Stratton Horres, regional managing partner of the Dallas office and partner in charge of lateral hires. "Larry has built a thriving entertainment / IP practice with an impressive list of clients and accomplishments, including contributing to Austin's emergence as the "Live Music Capital of the World" and helping to foster Texas's reputation as a "Third Coast" entertainment destination. His outstanding capabilities support the firm's ongoing diversification and expansion of services we offer our clients to better serve them locally and nationally….we are excited about the new dimension Larry's practice adds to the firm."
That dimension includes an extensive educational background in geology and engineering, with fluency in Spanish, French, and Russian.
