Graves Dougherty was named in Vault’s 2026 Top 150 Under 150 list of law firms with 150 lawyers or fewer. The list is intended “to recognize small and midsize law firms that deliver big results.” GDHM is one of just 16 Texas-based law firms who made the rankings.
In describing Graves Dougherty, Vault said: “Austin-based law firm Graves Dougherty is one of the preeminent firms in Texas. Its team of just over 30 attorneys weaves deftly between banking, finance, trial and appellate litigation, labor and employment, real estate, corporate and securities, regulatory, tax and estate planning. No client is too big or too small for Graves Dougherty, which transitions between individuals and multi-million-dollar companies with ease. The firm draws upon its loyal client base, which it has built up over decades across a variety of industries.”
To determine the Top 150 Under 150, Vault first developed a list of the best-known and most sought-after U.S. firms with 150 attorneys or fewer. The editorial and research teams then pored through Vault survey data, news stories, trade journals, and other legal publications; spoke with lawyers in the field; and reviewed other published rankings. Vault editors also assessed each firm for prestige, quality of life, and professional growth opportunities before narrowing down the results to come up with a list of 150 law firms.
