Pray Walker

What Pray Walker does

Pray Walker, P.C. is a full-service business law firm founded in 1979 and headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a secondary office in Bartlesville. The firm provides comprehensive legal services across more than 40 practice areas, organized around industry verticals that include oil and gas exploration and production, healthcare, real estate and construction, insurance, banking and financial institutions, technology and manufacturing, tribal governments, and tax-exempt organizations. Its core service lines span energy transactions and litigation, mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance and securities, complex business and commercial litigation, insurance defense and coverage disputes, employment and labor law, real estate, and estate planning.

The firm operates a professional services model, billing clients on a per-matter basis across both transactional and litigation work. Go-to-market is primarily sales-led, relying on direct client engagement through the firm website, referrals, and channel partnerships — most notably its membership in the Legal Netlink Alliance, a global network of mid-sized law firms that extends Pray Walker's reach beyond Oklahoma to international matters. The firm represents a mix of large enterprise clients (including energy companies, healthcare facilities, and a national broadband network provider), mid-market businesses (pressure vessel manufacturers, oilfield equipment suppliers, hearing device technology companies), and individual clients with personal legal matters.

Pray Walker is structured as a privately held professional corporation owned by its attorney shareholders, with no external private equity or parent-company ownership disclosed. Technology infrastructure consists of standard legal practice management, document management, and a client portal, with no proprietary technology products. The firm has grown through organic expansion and selective lateral attorney acquisitions, most recently absorbing attorneys from Aston Mathis and Campbell in March 2025.
