Carrington, Coleman, Sloman & Blumenthal, L.L.P

What Carrington, Coleman, Sloman & Blumenthal, L.L.P does

Carrington, Coleman, Sloman & Blumenthal, L.L.P. is a Dallas-based law firm that has operated for over 50 years (founded circa 1965) and is structured as a Texas limited liability partnership. The firm lists 72 professionals on its website and operates within a 101-250 employee band, serving corporations and individuals across 15 industry verticals and 24 practice areas. Its core offering is professional legal services — full-service representation across litigation, corporate/M&A, employment, intellectual property, real estate, healthcare, energy, financial services, digital assets, and emerging-technology matters including AI law. The firm emphasizes a midsized-firm delivery model positioned against large-firm competitors, with partner-led matter staffing across regulated industries such as healthcare (hospitals, physicians, long-term care providers), energy (independent oil and gas producers in the Permian Basin), financial services (broker-dealers, investment firms), digital assets (cryptocurrency funds, blockchain ventures), and family offices.

The firm's revenue model is professional-services based: billable hours, flat fees for specific matters, and contingency arrangements depending on practice area; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is partner-led, combining industry reputation, referral networks, and content marketing through a specialized blog network (Healthcare Empowered, Solid Foundations, Sua Sponte) and thought-leadership publications, supported by recognition in Best Lawyers (32 attorneys), Texas Super Lawyers (33 attorneys in 2026), DBJ's Best Places to Work, Lawdragon, Law360, and the New York Times. The firm does not develop proprietary technology — there is no SaaS platform, no API, no app, and no AI/ML pipeline — and its distribution is direct, with no intermediaries or resellers between the firm and its enterprise clients. Office footprint is anchored at 901 Main Street, Suite 5500, Dallas, Texas, with markets served described as Texas, Southwest, and National.

Recent operating emphasis has been on lateral attorney acquisition to deepen specialty benches: in April 2026 the firm hired Kate Morris and Russ Pearlman from the closing firm Hosch & Morris to build AI, technology, and data-privacy capabilities; in November 2025 three veteran corporate/M&A/bankruptcy/tax attorneys joined; and additional partners were added in hospitality (John Gessner), government law (Katie Anderson), and appellate (former Texas Supreme Court Justice Douglas Lang). These moves signal a deliberate lateral-driven expansion strategy into emerging-technology and regulated-vertical practices while preserving a Dallas-anchored, partner-owned structure with no external investors or parent entity.

Broad incumbents

• Baker Botts L.L.P. Baker Botts is a large Texas-founded full-service firm with strong energy, technology, and litigation practices. While significantly larger and global, it competes for many of the same high-value Texas-based corporate and litigation mandates as CCSB.
• K&L Gates LLP: K&L Gates operates a global full-service platform with a major Dallas office competing for corporate, energy, technology, and litigation work. Its broader geographic footprint and larger scale position it as a broader-incumbent peer rather than a direct mid-market rival.
• Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP: Akin Gump is a large, globally distributed law firm with deep Dallas roots and broad offerings in energy, financial services, and litigation. It is a broader incumbent that competes in the same Dallas-based corporate and litigation markets from a much larger platform.
• Vinson & Elkins LLP: V&E is a large Texas-headquartered global firm with strong energy, M&A, finance, and litigation practices. Overlaps with CCSB's energy and corporate/M&A engagements but operates at a meaningfully larger scale with international reach.
• Bracewell LLP: Bracewell is a Texas-founded full-service firm with strong energy, infrastructure, and finance practices and a notable Dallas presence. Overlaps with CCSB's energy, M&A, and infrastructure practices while operating from a broader and larger platform.

• Locke Lord LLP: Locke Lord is a Dallas-headquartered full-service law firm offering corporate, litigation, energy, healthcare, and real estate practices across the U.S. Highly comparable business model and overlapping vertical expertise make it a direct head-to-head competitor.
• Thompson & Knight LLP: Thompson & Knight is a Dallas-founded full-service firm serving energy, financial services, healthcare, and technology clients. Comparable in size and practice breadth, it competes directly for Texas and regional corporate matters.
• Jackson Walker LLP: Jackson Walker is one of the largest Texas-based full-service law firms, headquartered in Dallas with a long-serving client base across healthcare, energy, real estate, and financial services. It directly overlaps with CCSB's core verticals and competes for similar outside-general-counsel engagements.
