About Gray Reed Our three Texas offices – Dallas, Houston and Waco – are the launch-point for our work with companies and individuals either located in or doing business in Texas. But our work for them often takes us away from home, across the nation and around the world. We are a full-service law firm with 15 organized practice groups including a full range of transactional and litigation services, tax, white collar, trusts and estates, employment law, family law, and bankruptcy. We have strong representation in five industries including agriculture, construction, energy, healthcare and real estate. We develop our more than 160 lawyers to be subject-matter authorities in the law and masters of business trends, strategies and principles.
