Hicks Thomas specializes in complex commercial litigation in a variety of industries including oil and gas, environmental, medical, banking, insurance, securities and trade secrets. Earlier this year, the firm was recognized for winning one of the state’s top 25 verdicts, a case that was the second-largest jury award in a medical malpractice claim in 2013.
