Houston, Feb. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blank Rome LLP<\/a>\u00a0is pleased to announce that\u00a0Audrey F. Momanaee<\/a>\u00a0has joined the firm\u2019s Houston office as partner in the\u00a0Commercial Litigation<\/a>\u00a0group. As an accomplished litigator, Audrey focuses her practice on matters involving business disputes, commercial and contract claims, catastrophic property claims, construction defects and delays, and matters involving trade secret protection and litigation. She joins Blank Rome from Blach & Bingham where she led the firm\u2019s litigation practice in Texas.<\/p>\n

As part of Blank Rome\u2019s commitment to expanding in Texas, the Houston office recently welcomed private equity veteran\u00a0Kelly Williams<\/a>\u00a0as senior counsel in the\u00a0Corporate, M&A, and Securities<\/a>\u00a0group. In July 2023, the firm\u00a0opened a Dallas office<\/a>\u00a0with the addition of seven leading corporate, real estate, and finance attorneys with national practices, and has since added partners\u00a0Jason C. Ray<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Barrett R. Howell<\/a>, and of counsel\u00a0Donald G. Ainscow<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to welcome Audrey to the firm and our nationally recognized litigation practice,\u201d said\u00a0Grant S. Palmer<\/a>, Blank Rome\u2019s Chair and Managing Partner.\u00a0\u201cAudrey has handled a wide range of complex business disputes and litigation, including counseling clients through arbitration in the United States and internationally. We are pleased to have another talented litigator like Audrey on our team of seasoned trial attorneys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Audrey handles commercial litigation matters for clients across various industries including those in energy, chemical refining, and manufacturing. She practices primarily in Texas state and federal courts, as well as domestic and international arbitrations.<\/p>\n

Outside of the courtroom, Audrey has handled a number of internal investigations and regularly provides pre-litigation counseling for clients. In addition to her experience handling disputes and investigations, Audrey has counseled clients about allocating risk in agreements and is a regular speaker on the issue of contractual risk allocation and indemnities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled to welcome Audrey to our Houston office,\u201d said\u00a0Susan L. Bickley<\/a>, partner and co-chair of the firm\u2019s Houston office. \u201cThe energy sector is critical to the Houston market and Audrey\u2019s experience representing oilfield service, pipeline, chemical, and solar and renewable energy companies will provide value to our energy clients navigating business disputes and managing risk. Her addition will also be advantageous to the broad swath of litigators and transactional lawyers that make up our energy industry team.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was impressed by Blank Rome\u2019s collegial, collaborative culture, as well as the firm\u2019s prominent litigation bench,\u201d noted Audrey. \u201cI am excited to join this fantastic group of trial attorneys and draw upon the firm\u2019s wide range of industry teams and practice areas to serve my clients. I also strongly believe that as lawyers we have an obligation to help underrepresented members of our communities and look forward to supporting Blank Rome\u2019s pro bono and community service initiatives.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
