Ann Al-Bahish, a litigator with deep, nationwide experience in environmental, commercial, and tort matters, has returned to Haynes and Boone, LLP as a partner in the Houston office.
“Ann’s tenacity, intelligence, and meticulous attention to detail have served her well throughout her career and are of tremendous benefit to her clients,” said Haynes and Boone Partner Michael J. Mazzone, co-chair of the Litigation Practice Group. “Ann is an exceptional lawyer who will be a true asset to the firm and our clients.”
Most recently, Ann served as a litigation partner at Kelley Drye & Warren LLP. With a doctorate degree in Public Health, she is highly adept at presenting and analyzing expert testimony and evidence, including scientific, economic and other types of technical evidence.

Ann has tried cases in Delaware, New Mexico, Texas and Washington and has additional litigation and appellate experience in California, New Jersey, New York, and Oregon and Vermont.
Formerly Of Counsel at Haynes and Boone, she chose to return to the firm because of the depth and skill of its litigation practice, along with her close working relationship with many Haynes and Boone lawyers.
“It is an honor to join the firm’s thriving, well-respected litigation team and to be able to work again with former colleagues who helped educate me and broaden my practice,” Ann said. “I look forward to helping Haynes and Boone continue to grow its litigation practice.”
