SPECIAL HONORS/RANKINGS

In 1970, we set out to build a new kind of law firm. One that challenges how law firms operate, breaks away from traditional industry wisdom, and places the client at the heart of the firm. For more than 35 years, Haynes and Boone has been a law firm in motion, growing from two lawyers to almost 500 legal professionals. We believe the world will belong to companies keen to compete, quick to adapt, eager to listen and resolved to continually challenge themselves. We measure ourselves by those same standards.
