Burford Perry Earns New Energy Litigation Recognition from Benchmark Litigation
Houston litigation boutique also earns repeat Commercial Dispute Resolution ranking, individual honors for partners Robert Burford and Matt Parks.
Benchmark Litigation has ranked Burford Perry, LLP in Energy Litigation for the first time in its 2027 guide, adding to the Houston boutique’s established recognition for Commercial Dispute Resolution. Partner Robert Burford also earned repeat recognition as a Litigation Star, while partner Matt Parks was recognized again in Benchmark’s Future Stars category.
The Energy Litigation ranking carries particular weight in Houston, the nation’s preeminent market for energy clients and their disputes. Benchmark Litigation is the only U.S. publication focused exclusively on litigation. Its eight-month selection process includes extensive interviews with litigators and clients and a review of recent casework, and is designed to identify firms and attorneys with exceptional ability in high-stakes litigation.
For Burford Perry, the recognition reinforces the firm’s position as one of Texas’ leading litigation boutiques. Since its founding in 2015, the firm has built a reputation for handling consequential commercial disputes for businesses across industries and throughout the country. Its attorneys represent clients in state and federal trial courts, appellate courts and commercial arbitrations, often against much larger firms.
“We practice in one of the country’s deepest and most competitive legal markets for energy litigation, so we’re particularly proud to receive this recognition from Benchmark,” said Burford Perry co-founder Brent Perry. “More broadly, Benchmark’s process is meaningful to us because it is focused on the quality of the work and the results lawyers and firms deliver. We’re honored that our peers and clients see Burford Perry as a first choice for businesses facing consequential commercial and energy disputes.”
Robert Burford is a veteran commercial litigator with extensive experience handling complex business disputes involving sophisticated financial and technical issues in numerous industries, including significant wins in energy matters. His repeat designation as a Litigation Star reflects his longstanding excellent reputation among Texas litigators and clients.
Matt Parks represents businesses in commercial litigation and arbitration across a range of industries, including energy, healthcare and real estate. Beyond Benchmark, he has earned repeat recognition from Chambers USA, among others.
Burford Perry has earned repeat recognition from Chambers USA, Chambers Spotlight, Benchmark Litigation, Best Lawyers in America and Best Law Firms. The firm’s attorneys have also earned individual honors from these and other leading legal organizations.
