Adam combines his deep legal expertise with forward-thinking approaches to deliver superior results for his clients. In his litigation practice, Adam represents clients across the full spectrum of construction disputes—from multi-million-dollar defect claims and schedule delays to payment disputes, lien actions, and scope-of-work changes. His real estate expertise encompasses complex boundary disputes, easement negotiations, partition actions, adverse possession claims, mineral rights issues, and commercial lease conflicts. In the corporate arena, he handles high-stakes matters involving breaches of fiduciary duty, trade secret misappropriation, non-compete violations, and business tort claims.

He takes time to understand each client’s unique objectives and operational challenges, delivering practical guidance that aligns legal strategy with business goals.

As Chair of the Technology Committee, Adam leads the firm’s strategic initiatives to identify and implement cutting-edge legal technology to enhance client service and case outcomes. Under his leadership, the committee drives the adoption of advanced e-Discovery platforms, sophisticated digital document management systems, and other innovative technologies—always with a focus on security, efficiency, and measurable client benefits. This technology-forward approach complements Adam’s and Andrews Myers’ dedication to client-oriented results.

Adam also serves as a coach for the University of Houston Law Center’s Mock Trial Team, where he helps develop the next generation of legal advocates. In 2025, his team won the American Bar Association National Arbitration Competition.
