Firm’s Dallas managing partner honored for business, commercial litigation

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hilgers Graben, a premier commercial litigation and eDiscovery law firm, is pleased to announce that the managing partner of its Dallas office, Grant Schmidt, has been recognized by D Magazine in its annual Best Lawyers in Dallas listing.

The 2025 edition lists Mr. Schmidt for his business and commercial litigation practice for a second consecutive year. He has also been included among the magazine’s Best Lawyers Under 40 since 2020.

“This is a tight-knit legal community, and I am remarkably grateful to have the trust of my colleagues across the Metroplex,” Mr. Schmidt said. “Without the firm’s support and the trust of our clients, I would not have this platform from which we consistently deliver excellent legal work.”

D Magazine names attorneys to the annual listing based on votes gathered from their legal peers and reviewed by a blue-ribbon panel. Mr. Schmidt specializes in complex commercial litigation, intellectual property litigation and white-collar criminal defense.

“We are fortunate to have an attorney of Grant’s caliber leading our Dallas office,” Hilgers Graben founder Heather Hilgers said. “He is a tremendously skilled lawyer who is a valued leader at our firm.”

Mr. Schmidt was recently named to Lawdragon’s 100 Managing Partners You Need to Know for 2025. He is a member of the Court Advisory Committee for the Northern District of Texas and is former president of the Federal Bar Association’s Dallas chapter. He is active in the Dallas community and is a board member for several community organizations, including Workforce Solutions Greater Dallas, Saint Mary of Carmel School and The Human Impact, a nonprofit that offers long-term assistance to Dallas’ homeless population.
