Greenberg Traurig Enhances Public Finance and Infrastructure Practice in Texas

In a strategic move to bolster its presence in Texas, global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP has announced the hiring of Clark Stockton Lord as a shareholder in its Public Finance and Infrastructure Practice, based in Houston. This addition comes as the firm celebrates over 20 years of operation in Texas, where it has firmly established itself within the state’s legal, business, and civic communities.

Richard A. Rosenbaum, the Executive Chairman of Greenberg Traurig, emphasized the firm’s deep roots in Texas, stating, "Since our entry two decades ago, we have not just provided top-tier legal services but have also embraced the unique identity of this state. The inclusion of Clark Lord in our Houston office is a testament to our ongoing commitment to the region. His extensive knowledge of Texas special district law and his exceptional reputation among governmental entities make him a valuable asset."

Clark Lord brings with him over ten years of public finance experience. His expertise spans various areas, including the formation of special districts, handling bond issuances, legislative advocacy, economic development program creation, and advising on land development transactions that encompass governmental regulations. Lord’s previous role as a partner at Bracewell equipped him with a unique mix of insights from both public and private sector clients, along with hands-on experience from a municipal city attorney's office. This positions him well to provide practical and informed counsel to clients navigating complex legal landscapes.

Franklin D.R. Jones Jr., co-chair of the Public Finance and Infrastructure Practice at Greenberg Traurig, expressed his confidence in Lord’s capabilities, saying, "I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Clark for over 20 years. He is undoubtedly one of the most respected public finance attorneys in Texas. His practice is built on genuine expertise and enduring client relationships, and I believe his contribution will enhance our platform significantly."

Lord shared his enthusiasm regarding his new role, stating, "Joining Greenberg Traurig opens up extraordinary opportunities for me. The firm's esteemed reputation and the calibre of its legal professionals, including esteemed figures like Frank Jones and Adrian Patterson, played significant roles in my decision. I am keen on expanding the relationships I have nurtured over the years while providing superior service to our clients and making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve."
