March 22, 2021 by

DALLAS, March 23, 2021 – Brown Fox is pleased to announce that Partner Cort Thomas and Associate Christopher Klement have been honored as 2021 Rising Stars. Only 2.5% of Texas lawyers below the age of forty or practicing less than ten years receive this coveted honor, which is based upon an independent analysis of an attorney’s practice and a peer evaluation within each attorney’s practice area. Mr. Thomas has been honored in back-to-back years, while Mr. Klement has been honored four years in a row.

Mr. Thomas focuses his practice on business and commercial litigation, along with serving as a court-appointed receiver. Mr. Klement’s practice focuses on civil rights and business and commercial litigation, with an industry focus on representing governmental entities. Both are humble and dedicated volunteers, providing regular pro bono services to those in need.

Brown Fox attorneys have collected almost seventy Rising Stars and Super Lawyers honors. Prior recipients include Messrs. Thomas and Klement, as well as Russ Brown, David Denton, Adam Fox, Zach Hilton, Stephen Key, Darrell Noga, Neal Parekh, Scott Self, and Eric Wood.
