Capitol Inside’s Texas Lobby Power Rankings 2011 names Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP as the second most powerful law firm lobby team in Texas.

“We’re honored to be recognized for our hard work and dedication to our clients at the Texas State Capitol,” says Gardere Managing Partner Steve Good. “Advocating for our clients’ interests before lawmakers, especially as the state faces a multi-billion dollar shortfall, is a responsibility we take seriously.”

Gardere’s Government Affairs Practice Group is recognized as one of the best, most experienced and influential legal teams in Texas. The lawyer-lobbyists represent a broad spectrum of clients before the Texas Legislature and state agencies, providing legislative and regulatory services to private corporations and public entities who face problems with litigation, legislation and regulation. Veteran lobbyist Val Perkins joined the Gardere team this year, which is led by Kim Yelkin and Mark Vane.

“I believe our team has earned respect by having a reputation for integrity and by working hard for our clients,” says Kim Yelkin, Executive Partner in the Austin office. “The most effective lobbying involves educating all stakeholders and developing trusting relationships with legislators by providing them with timely and accurate information.”

Texas Lawyer, another highly respected publications for lawyers, also ranked Gardere’s Government Affairs Group among the top-grossing lawyer-lobbyists in Texas in 2009 and Chambers USA, a highly respected international publication, ranks Yelkin among the best attorneys in the country in 2010.


Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP, an AmLaw 200 firm, was founded in 1909 and is one of the Southwest’s largest full-service law firms. With offices in Austin, Dallas, Houston and Mexico City, Gardere provides legal services to private and public companies and individuals in areas of energy, litigation, corporate, government affairs, tax, environmental, labor and employment, intellectual property and financial services.
