Business Wire

Mr. Hoffer recognized by Lawdragon for a fifth year

HOUSTON, October 22, 2026--Hicks Thomas partner Stewart E. Hoffer, a familiar name in the complex realm of labor and employment litigation, has earned another year's recognition among the nation's best with his selection to the 2027 Lawdragon 500 Leading Corporate Employment Lawyers legal guide.

Lawdragon said its honorees "advise companies large and small on their most pressing workplace needs… from collective bargaining to harassment — or, even better, keeping them out of the courtroom altogether."

This is the fifth year Lawdragon has recognized Mr. Hoffer in its Leading Corporate Employment Lawyers guide. Lawyers selected handle such corporate workplace issues as compensation and benefit issues, wage and hour disputes, discrimination complaints, trade secrets and non-compete agreements.

"Being able to represent some of the nation's most successful businesses with their employment and litigation challenges is rewarding in its own right, but it is always nice to be recognized for that work by prestigious organizations like Lawdragon," said Mr. Hoffer.

Mr. Hoffer is board certified in civil trial law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and has appeared as lead counsel for numerous publicly traded and privately held companies in 11 states. His work has also been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America, Chambers and Texas Super Lawyers.

"We are pleased that Stewart continues to receive recognition from Lawdragon," said Hicks Thomas partner John B. Thomas. "He fills a critical role for his clients and for our firm, so this honor is well-deserved."

Lawdragon uses nominations, staff research and feedback from peers and clients to select honorees.
