What shamoun & norman does

Shamoun & Norman LLP is a Dallas-based litigation and transactional boutique law firm founded in 1997 by C. Gregory Shamoun and Brian K. Norman. The firm represents individuals and companies in high-stakes matters involving significant damages and novel legal issues, with primary segments including high-stakes personal injury (plaintiff and defense), employment disputes, and business litigation, alongside corporate and transactional clients requiring securities, M&A, real estate, financial restructuring, and trusts and estates counsel. The firm's practice spans 11 service areas: Bankruptcy/Reorganization Litigation, Commercial Litigation, Appellate Practice, Corporate, Financial Restructuring, Intellectual Property, Real Estate, Securities, Securities Litigation, Trusts and Estates, and Financing.

The firm's capability base is concentrated in senior talent, including former elected judges, former AmLaw partners with 20–30 years of experience, attorneys admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court, and credentialed appellate litigators (50+ appeals handled). Notable matter scale includes a $10.45 million Kaufman County jury verdict (January 2026) believed to be the second-largest in county history, representation in a trust fund matter with over $1 billion in controversy, an $80 million leveraged buyout of a real estate development portfolio, $100 million private securities offerings, and a $200 million structured finance transaction. Multiple attorneys maintain consecutive Martindale-Hubbell AV-Preeminent ratings, Texas Super Lawyer selections, and America's Most Honored Professionals recognition.

The business model is professional services: revenue is generated through hourly and bespoke fee arrangements on litigation and transactional matters, with a flexible and quote-based rate structure rather than standardized pricing. The firm operates from three offices — Farmers Branch, TX (headquarters), Midlothian, TX, and New York, NY (by appointment) — and serves clients regionally across Texas and selectively in the Northeast. The firm is privately held as a limited liability partnership with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.
