Partners Tim Cleveland and Austin Krist earn individual recognition

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cleveland Krist PLLC is pleased to announce it has earned repeat recognition as a leading commercial litigation firm from Chambers USA, the prestigious ranking guide known for its comprehensive analysis of the legal industry.

Firm co-founder Tim Cleveland was again recognized by Chambers in its 2025 guide as a leading lawyer in commercial litigation, and partner Austin Krist was selected for the guide’s list of Up-and-Coming attorneys. The firm was also recognized as a leading litigation firm in Texas.

“This recognition by Chambers of our firm is a testament to the continued commitment, talent, and hard work of the entire team,” Mr. Cleveland said. “We’re a boutique firm by choice, so it’s gratifying to see that we’re recognized alongside much larger and older firms in the legal industry.”

Based in London, Chambers and Partners publishes its annual rankings using what is considered one of the legal industry’s most rigorous and in-depth reviews. This includes comprehensive research, peer and client interviews, and review by Chambers analysts.

In the 2025 guide, Chambers reported that Cleveland Krist “has fantastic strategists who zoom out on the matter and understand client objectives.” One source told Chambers that the firm “ensures thorough preparation, diligent research and sharp analytical abilities, alongside strategic thinking and exceptional advocacy.”

Chambers’ sources have also described Mr. Cleveland, whose recently earned an invitation to join the American Board of Trial Advocates, as “one of the most highly skilled trial lawyers I’ve had the opportunity to work with. His in-court skill set can’t be touched by other lawyers.”

Cleveland Krist PLLC is an Austin-based litigation firm handling complex commercial cases in state and federal courts and arbitration tribunals across the country.
