Texas Monthly Profiles Bickel & Brewer — the "Most Unyielding and Difficult Firm in Dallas"
December 1987 — Texas Monthly profiles Bickel & Brewer and its representation of Texas Commerce Bank-Dallas in what has become a "notorious" case involving its lease with Plaza of the Americas.
The article, titled "Behind the Lines: The World War I Theory of Law," states, "Bickel & Brewer is known as a tough fighter, perhaps the most unyielding and difficult firm in Dallas. Although just three and a half years old, with only six partners, five of whom are under forty, Bickel & Brewer has attracted a blue-chip client list that, besides TCB-Dallas, includes American Petrofina, the Dallas Market Center, MCI, MBank, the Richards Group, Sentry Life Insurance, and the Trammell Crow Company."
"We want to try the big cases," said founding partner William Brewer. "If you have two hundred cases in your firm, you're not going to pretend you're going to win them all. We've got about thirty clients, and they are going to pay us several million dollars to win. If you're handling one-hundred-million-dollar cases, you don't compromise for your client even a little bit."
