About Mayer LLP

At traditional law firms, the attorney who brings a client on board “owns” that client, often isolating them from the rest of the firm — even when it’s to the client’s detriment. At Mayer, that was the first rule to go: We take a team approach that gives you access to the attorneys whose experience and background best match your needs. First and foremost, we’re here to serve you. With offices in Texas, New Mexico and Arkansas, and several attorneys licensed in surrounding states, Mayer has a Southwest regional footprint that spans from Arizona to Missouri to Louisiana.

You’ll Notice the Difference

Vibrant. Entrepreneurial. Client-centric. Focused. Are we great attorneys who understand your business, or smart business people who know the law? If you have trouble deciding, then we’ve succeeded. We love business. We know law. And it shows in everything we do.
