Evans Petree

What Evans Petree does

Evans Petree, P.C. is a privately-held full-service law firm founded in 1907 and headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, with additional offices in Brentwood, Tennessee and Oxford, Mississippi. The firm employs approximately 55 attorneys across 19 practice areas spanning corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, real estate, construction and surety law, banking and commercial lending, litigation and dispute resolution, labor and employment, tax/trusts and estate planning, property tax, private client services, aviation, trucking and logistics, intellectual property, healthcare law, and international/foreign direct investment matters. Its core technology and operational infrastructure is conventional for the legal sector: a LawPay-integrated client portal for invoice and retainer payments, Paycom for HR and applicant tracking, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022-certified information security management. There are no proprietary software products, AI tools, or technology platforms disclosed.

The firm serves a horizontal mix of closely held businesses, high-net-worth individuals and families, financial institutions, and public-sector entities across Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, and additional states in which its attorneys are licensed. Documented engagements include lead counsel on approximately 30 M&A transactions ranging from $50M to $400M in enterprise value since 2016, a $115M pharmaceutical distribution company sale, a $57M verdict for Memphis City Schools, and ongoing representation of local and regional banks on roughly 125 syndicated acquisition loans of $1M to $100M+ over a five-year period. Its go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven, relying on peer referrals, professional bar association involvement, and recognition through Best Lawyers in America, Mid-South Super Lawyers, and the Chambers USA Guide (Band 1 in Construction Law 2025). Revenue is generated through traditional professional services billing — hourly rates, fixed fees, and contingency arrangements — with pricing determined per engagement and payment processed through a LawPay-powered secure portal. The firm is owned by its attorney-shareholders, with no venture capital, private equity, or parent company affiliations.
