Cortell has successfully represented a wide array of clients in both trial and appellate courts in cases that have put her at the forefront of Texas litigation practice. She currently has five cases pending in the Texas Supreme Court, and, in that court’s 2016-2017 term, she secured two wins for ExxonMobil Corp. in cases involving the Texas anti-SLAPP statute and agency law. And in the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, she recently represented Trinity Industries in a landmark reversal of a $636 million False Claims Act judgment and Texas Capital Bank in defeating multimillion-dollar lender liability claims. Her recent trial court victories include dismissals in shareholder derivative suits for AT&T.
