Houston Litigation Firm Vasquez Waite Off to ‘Fast and Furious’ Start
Cara Vasquez and Mark Waite, both formerly of DLA Piper, launched the boutique litigation firm Vasquez Waite on January 1, 2024, in Houston, Texas. The two attorneys, who developed a strong professional chemistry while at DLA Piper, specialize in litigation for the petrochemical and construction industries. Their decision to start the firm stemmed from a desire to focus on fast-paced commercial litigation, a dynamic they experienced during the 2020 pandemic. In its first month, the firm hired two employees, brought on multiple new clients, and signed ten engagement letters, all while maintaining a collaborative and ambitious approach. Despite their demographic and educational differences, Vasquez and Waite have built a thriving practice fueled by their complementary strengths and shared vision for growth.
