Mo Lovett Law will be based in Houston and will focus on high-stakes commercial litigation, litigation consulting and mediation and arbitration.

“I have had an incredible career working with some of the most elite trial lawyers in the country, but I believe it is now time to forge my own path,” said Ms. Lovett. “I really want to give clients the benefit of my trial experience in a more personalized environment. My goal has been consistent since I started practicing in 1994: I want to be their warrior in the courtroom and their trusted friend and counselor behind the scenes.”
