Texas commercial litigators—do you need a refresher on how to effectively plead, prove and recover your clients’ attorneys’ fees? This panel of Jonathan Childers, Jason Dennis, Trey Cox, Judge Dale Tillery, and Justice Bonnie Goldstein, gave the Dallas Bar‘s Business Litigation Section a master class on the topic today. As a trial attorney who is also hired as an expert to opine on reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees, I appreciated the panel’s practical guidance, such as: 1. Do not overly redact your fee statements or draft vague work descriptions. A fact finder or appellate court must be given sufficient information to justify a reasonable fee. 2. Recovery of future appellate fees must be conditional, and it is inadequate to say, “I estimate fees for representation through appeal at a Texas Court of Appeals would be $x.” The record should reflect what anticipated work would be done to support the conditional fee. 3. Pigs get fed and hogs get slaughtered. When you fail to exercise good billing judgment and refuse to segregate attorneys’ fees, you risk having your case reversed and rendered or reversed and remanded on appeal. Thank you panelists for sharing your wisdom with almost 200 lawyers who attended live or online!

Our Valuation and Litigation Briefing is now available for May /June 2024. Our cover story summarizes a recent Arizona divorce case where a calculation of value was used by courts to value the couple’s law firm. A sidebar explains how calculations of value differ from conclusions of value. We also include an article that explains how valuators can serve as expert witnesses or consultants, helping settle shareholder disputes both in and out of court. Other article topics include guideline transaction method and bias on expert testimony.
