Recently, Texas has finalized its new business courts with the appointment of Grant Dorfman and Sofia Adrogué to the Houston division. These appointments come after Governor Greg Abbott announced a total of 10 judges for the business courts, two in each of the major cities including Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Houston.
Abbott has been highly involved in the establishment of these new courts, urging the state legislature to create them in order to better serve the needs of Texas businesses. The creation of these specialized courts represents a significant step towards enhancing the legal environment for businesses in Texas. By providing dedicated courts to handle business-related disputes and appeals, the state aims to streamline the legal process and ensure that cases are resolved in a timely and efficient manner.
Dorfman currently serves as the deputy first assistant to state Attorney General Ken Paxton while Adrogué is a partner with Diamond McCarthy LLP. Their appointments reflect a commitment by Abbott to selecting experienced and knowledgeable individuals who will uphold the highest standards of justice. This move will surely benefit businesses operating within Texas by providing them with a more efficient and effective legal system.
