What Conner & Winters does

Conner & Winters, LLP is a full-service regional law firm founded approximately in 1933-1934 and headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The firm operates five offices across Oklahoma (Tulsa and Oklahoma City), Arkansas (Northwest Arkansas), and Texas (Dallas and Houston), serving business clients through direct attorney engagements. Practice areas span litigation, corporate and securities, banking and finance, bankruptcy, construction, energy, environmental, healthcare, insurance, labor and employment, real estate, tax, wills/trusts/estates, and investigations/white-collar defense. The firm has developed industry specializations in regionally relevant sectors including oil and gas, wind energy, propane, medical cannabis, Indian Country business and finance, aviation, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, and rental car.

The firm's underlying technology platform is not disclosed, consistent with a professional services business model in which revenue is generated through billable legal services. The revenue model comprises professional services fees, including hourly billing for counsel, contingency fee arrangements where applicable, and fixed-fee structures for defined matters such as corporate formations and compliance work. Pricing is negotiated individually and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, with marketing primarily conducted through the firm website, attorney directory listings, professional networking (LinkedIn), and community involvement. The firm maintains a multi-state federal and state court admission footprint across the Tenth, Eighth, Fifth, and other circuits.

In April 2026, Conner & Winters was acquired by Spencer Fane, a Kansas City-based law firm with presence in Missouri, Colorado, and California. The acquisition tripled Spencer Fane's footprint in Oklahoma. The firm continues to operate under the Conner & Winters name at its existing locations. The firm is structured as a limited liability partnership (LLP) and was previously privately held among its partners for approximately 90 years prior to the acquisition.
