Texas big law litigators or boutiques: excluding mckool and susman, what are main differences between Reynolds frizzell, yetter, AZA, Lynn pinker, Reid Collins or beck redden? Any more national or Texas or Houston focused than others? Any meaningful difference in terms of opportunities at the firm or exit opps? How would you rank these?

AZA is viewed more plaintiff-side. They work their associates hard and don’t pay as well. Yetter Coleman and Beck Redden have a more even plate of client, and I find the people easier to work with - whether we’re aligned or have adverse interests. Lynn Pinker and Reid Collins have less market share.

I’ve liked the people I met at Reynolds Frizzell but I just haven’t been in many cases with them.

I wouldn't rank them and just look at how each firm aligns with my personal feelings, circumstances, and goals.

This is always not a helpful answer as people clearly will consider personal goals and feelings. Reputation and exit oops are reasonable asks from ppl not familiar with a market. My impression is AZA, Lynn Pinker and Yetter all place well in house at DAs and at other firms (Kirkland). Reynolds small so less of that. All are very good. People are concerned about age of beck in beck redden.

Reid collins does more National work whereas I think RF does more Texas

Reid Collins is heavily plaintiff, but more national. AZA split a few years back and there is a spin off Alavi Anaipakos. Both do a bit more patent work compared to the rest. Other firms you mentioned are more Texas focused. You also left off your list Gibbs and Smyster
