WattBeckworth was founded in 2001 by a small group of attorneys with a common vision: to create a firm that was large and sophisticated enough to handle complex litigation matters, but small enough to retain the collegiality and familial atmosphere found in a boutique firm. We are a Texas firm with a national pedigree. Our lawyers are drawn from some of the largest and most prominent firms in the country. WattBeckworth was recently named by U.S. News to its list of Best Law Firms in the Nation for 2010. WattBeckworth was one of 19 law firms nationwide to achieve the highest ranking of Tier 1 from U.S. News for Oil and Gas Law. The listing recognized the top law firms in 81 practice areas across 171 metropolitan areas.
