HOUSTON FIRM EXPANDS HORIZONS AT IR GLOBAL BOSTON Crady Jewett McCulley & Houren LLP team, Chris Goodrich, Doug McCullough, and David Fuss attended IR Global's 'On the Road' event in Boston last week. The event brought together over 180 professionals from around the world, offering a unique opportunity for global networking and knowledge exchange. As one of Texas's oldest continuously operated law firms, the event was a great opportunity for our team to share our expertise of doing business in the state while gaining valuable insights from our international colleagues, broadening our perspective on global legal trends and practices. The event featured a mix of professional development activities, including speed networking sessions, keynote speeches, and informative presentations. As well as great social events for more informal conversations. “Attending the IR Global event gives us a chance to bridge our deep local roots with a global outlook, meaning we can serve our diverse clients better, in an increasingly interconnected world,” explained Doug. CJMH may Texan at heart, but we understand the importance of global perspective even for firms with strong local presence, and events such as this demonstrate our commitment to staying at the forefront of legal developments and international best practices. #IRGlobal #LegalNetworking #GlobalConnections #TexasLaw

CJMH's summer law clerks Sherrill C. and Christian Luening recently rolled up their sleeves for an innovative team-building experience with our associates, swapping legal briefs for sushi rolls in a hands-on culinary class. Sushi making and legal practice share many similarities: precision, years of training, and mastery of specialized tools. Client interaction and continuous learning are crucial to help solve complex problems creatively in both fields. We're glad our summer clerks enjoyed their unique evening together! #Summerclerks #CJMH #Sushiclass

5TH CIRCUIT WIN OVER SBA PPP LOAN APPLICATIONS At Crady Jewett McCulley & Houren LLP we are fiercely protective of our clients and their assets. This was recently demonstrated by Carlton Wilde, Jr and John Herrmann from our Commercial Litigation practice, who successfully represented a national bank, rejecting low settlement offers to win both a summary judgment at trial and two successful appeals to the 5th Circuit. “We were confident that our client was in the right at every step of this dispute, a fact which was proven as a matter of law when the trial court awarded our client summary judgment, dismissing all claims presented by the plaintiff and awarding our client its full damages and attorney’s fees, and subsequently affirmed after oral arguments before the 5th Circuit. When the other side threatened a second appeal to stall enforcement of the judgment and to justify their lowball settlement offers, we maintained our position and demonstrated to the 5th Circuit that the plaintiff’s new arguments were meritless” explained John. Not only a win for our client, but an important milestone in reaching a final judgement on the unique issues relating to COVID-era PPP loans. #Litigation #HoustonLaw #PPPloan
