Houston litigation boutique Levinthal Wilkins has merged into Alabama-based trial firm Lightfoot, Franklin & White, with Levinthal Wilkins' three lawyers joining the firm's Houston office as of Jan. 1.
The addition of partners Jared Levinthal and Robert Wilkins and associate Kaitlyn Faucett expands Lightfoot Franklin's Houston office to seven lawyers. The 63-lawyer trial firm opened its Texas office in January 2017.
Melody Eagan, Lightfoot Franklin's managing partner, said the firm has been looking to expand in Houston, and the name Levinthal Wilkins repeatedly came up last year when the firm asked Texas managing partners about good litigation boutiques in Houston.
