For over 100 years Gardere has been regarded as a leading Texas law firm. From beginnings in Dallas in 1909, to Gardere & Wynne's merger with Houston's Sewell & Riggs in 1995, the GARDERE WYNNE SEWELL® law firm has expanded its services to meet client needs and to ensure stability and longevity. In 1996 Gardere formed a joint venture with Mexico City law firm Arena, Robles, Yarza, S.C., expanding business services on both sides of the border and throughout Latin America. In 2002 Gardere opened offices in Austin, Texas, to provide legislative and regulatory services. Through internal growth, mergers, joint ventures and strategic alliances with other leading law firms, Gardere now has more than 230 attorneys and is one of the largest firms in Texas serving regional, national and international clients.
