Margaret Bryant
Partner
Clients rely not only on Margaret’s commitment, and the quality of her work, but also on her dedication to finding business solutions. As one client remarked:
“Margaret has worked diligently to learn our business, advise us to make the proper decisions and has helped train our staff on certain items that have now become the normal course of business for our operations.”
Margaret offers clients a unique perspective gained through handling both trials and appeals. She meticulously masters each issue then painstakingly develops the case and finds pragmatic solutions, all while ensuring communications are timely and complete. Margaret is especially adept at building teams and organizing complex cases like the multi-year Deepwater Horizon litigation that involved an unprecedented well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico.
Margaret’s dogged and broad curiosity means she brings an eager mind, fresh eyes, and sharp legal skills to every case. She maintains strong client relationships because she knows that resolving legal disputes is ultimately about serving others.
Margaret and her husband have two curly-haired young daughters who exhibit the same strong and competitive spirit Margaret honed through her participation in years of competitive team sports.
