Kessler Collins is proud to announce that Founding Partner Gary Kessler has once again been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America®, marking his fifth consecutive year of recognition.

The 2027 recognition adds another distinction to a career spanning decades of complex commercial litigation, trial advocacy and service to the legal profession.

Gary is Board Certified in Civil Trial Practice and has represented clients in matters involving insurance, securities, intellectual property, real estate and corporate disputes. His courtroom experience includes trials in complex commercial matters as well as arguments before the Texas Supreme Court and multiple federal circuit courts.

His practice has also extended well beyond Texas. Gary has significant national and international experience, including representing the People’s Republic of China in claims arising under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, as well as major financial institutions, domestic and foreign insurers, and international corporations.

As a founding partner, Gary's approach to commercial litigation has also helped shape Kessler Collins' commitment to excellent client service.

A commitment to the profession

Gary's contribution to the legal profession extends beyond his client work. He is a frequent lecturer for industry groups and an instructor for the National Institute for Trial Advocacy, sharing his courtroom experience with other lawyers.

He is also a member of the American Inns of Court, whose work includes developing professionalism, ethics and advocacy skills among lawyers, and is a Fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America.

His professional recognitions over the years include repeated selection as a Texas Super Lawyer and recognition by Best Lawyers in areas including Commercial Litigation, Litigation – Real Estate, Litigation – Regulatory Enforcement, and Litigation – Securities.

Most notably, Gary's history with Best Lawyers reaches back more than three decades, with recognition in Commercial Litigation from 1993 through 2027.

For Kessler Collins, the latest distinction is therefore both a celebration of the 2027 recognition and of the experience, leadership and professional standards Gary has brought to the firm throughout his career.

Congratulations, Gary, on another well-deserved recognition and on continuing to set the standard for excellence, client service and leadership at Kessler Collins.
