Building Business: From Big(ger) Law to a Boutique

Vasquez Waite (“VW”) was founded in 2024 by Cara Vasquez and Mark Waite, who left DLA Piper (“DLA”) to establish their boutique trial firm focused on commercial litigation. The transition from a multinational, full-service firm with over 4,500 attorneys globally to a single Houston office with just five employees marked a bold step forward, driven by their ambition for growth. Vasquez and Waite shared their journey in building the firm. Read about it in The Houston Lawyer.
