Delivering Value

When trial can be avoided on reasonable terms, we also develop creative, value-driven solutions. Delivering value in complex circumstances is at the core of what we do. Beyond influencing how we might resolve disputes without trial or even without litigation, our heart for delivering value also determines how we structure fee arrangements and means we consider our clients’ circumstances and the nature of their cases in doing so. Large teams of litigation associates, superfluous discovery, and protracted disputes over immaterial issues are not required. In fact, they frequently detract from the lead lawyer’s depth of understanding the case and can grossly increase client costs. We do things differently.

The Trial Lawyers

Ken Wynne, the firm’s founder, has devoted his career to complex business litigation. He has practiced civil trial law in Houston since he graduated from law school at age 23 in 1967 – over 40 years. Before founding his own firm in 1991, Mr. Wynne was a senior partner in the then 200 + lawyer firm of Bracewell & Patterson where he served on the management and litigation committees. He has represented institutional clients such as Marriot Corporation, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., Citibank, and Saudi Basic Industries, Inc., and regularly represents individuals, private companies, and class action plaintiffs in high stakes litigation. Mr. Wynne is knowledgeable and experienced in essentially every area of business litigation.

David Wynne also has extensive first chair experience handling all aspects of a case through trial. David began his practice with Wynne & Wynne’s predecessor upon his graduation, first from Princeton University, then from the University of Texas School of Law with honors. David quickly took the reins for critical hearings and testimony, always active on the front lines of litigation. His broad litigation practice on both sides of the docket provides valuable insight into how the other side thinks and stimulates creative, effective lawyering. David knows continued success does not necessarily stem from past achievement or award, however, and he is committed to providing the highest level of legal service in the most complicated cases.

The Bottom Line

At Wynne & Wynne, our clients can count on an experienced attorney handling each stage of their cases. Each attorney at the firm has a history of success in complex, multi-million dollar disputes against the most capable adversaries. The depth of our experience, thoughtful commitment to hard work, and devotion to our clients’ interests may be different, but they have proved to be the most effective way to litigate time and again.
