LITIGATION CENTER

The TAB Litigation Center is the voice of business in the federal and state courts.  We represent TAB in lawsuits to challenge unlawful federal, state, and local regulatory actions.  We intervene to defend the government in cases brought by activists to challenge pro-business or deregulatory actions.  We file amicus curiae briefs representing the broad views of the Texas business community in important litigation in the state.  We work with the media to help the public understand key decisions and legal principles.
