What Ferguson Braswell Fraser Kubasta does

Ferguson Braswell Fraser Kubasta PC (FBFK Law) is a full-service business law firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Plano, Texas, with seven offices across Texas (Plano/Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin) and California (Irvine/Orange County, Century City/Los Angeles, San Diego). The firm employs 90+ legal professionals organized across nine practice areas: Corporate, Securities & M&A; Litigation & Trial; Intellectual Property & Technology; Bankruptcy & Restructuring; Tax Planning & Controversies; Real Estate & Land Use; Labor & Employment; Estate Planning & Controversies; and International Transactions & Dispute Resolution, with vertical depth in healthcare regulatory work and oil & gas/energy litigation. The firm serves middle-market companies, institutional clients, high-net-worth individuals and families, business owners, executives, founders, boards, and investors, with named industry concentrations including physician groups and MSOs, oil & gas E&P operators and mineral holders, financial institutions, and private equity sponsors.

The firm has no proprietary technology product; its competitive position is built on attorney expertise, multi-disciplinary integration, and a relationship-driven service model formalized under the 'FBFK 2.0' growth strategy. Revenue is generated through professional services fees (time-billing and engagement-letter-based pricing, not publicly disclosed), with go-to-market executed via direct attorney relationships, referrals, internal business-development training (the Rainmaker Academy), thought-leadership content marketing, earned media in legal industry publications, and selective industry events. The firm supplements its domestic practice with a strategic collaboration with Ethikos to provide U.S.–EU cross-border coverage for international transactions and disputes.

FBFK's recent strategic activity signals an active scaling phase: the 2026 launch of new offices in Century City and San Diego, the 2026 formal launch of an integrated health law practice with two new shareholder hires, the appointment of a COO to professionalize operations, and expansion of the multi-office Summer Associate Program. The firm is privately held by shareholders including CEO L. Kyle Ferguson, Managing Shareholder Paul Braswell, and Managing Partner Todd G. Friedland, with no identified external private equity or institutional investment.
