Jackson Walker's newest partner is a former Houston appeals court judge who will also co-chair the firm's appellate section.
Jennifer Caughey, who served on the First Texas Court of Appeals from September 2017 through December 2018, joined the firm Tuesday as part of the trial and appellate litigation practice. After losing an election in November 2018—all of the Republican candidates for the Houston appeals courts were defeated—Caughey said she spent the last two-and-a-half months talking to firms to choose where she would continue her career.
“Everybody who I met at Jackson Walker just seemed fantastic, a really deep bench of wonderful lawyers. Everyone outside spoke the world of this firm,” she said. “Coming off the most fulfilling job I ever had in my life, I wanted to make a good choice.”
