Dallas-based practice recognized in both commercial, bet-the-company litigation

The Sayles Law Firm has again been selected for inclusion on the Best Law Firms guide to the nation’s top legal practices, earning high rankings in two areas of litigation.

In the 2026 edition of the legal publication, the firm secured a Tier One ranking for its commercial litigation excellence in North Texas and was also acknowledged for its success in high-stakes, bet-the-company litigation.

Eligibility for Best Law Firms consideration requires firms to have at least one attorney in the current edition of The Best Lawyers in America publication. In August, firm founder and veteran trial lawyer Richard A. “Dick” Sayles was named to that distinguished list for the 20^th consecutive year.

“To receive this recognition for the firm again is quite gratifying,” said Mr. Sayles, who formed the Sayles Law Firm in 2023 with the express purpose of collaborating with other law firms to provide trial expertise in significant cases. “After trying cases my entire career, it’s rewarding to be able to offer my courtroom skills in this selective, independent manner, and then to know our clients appreciate the results.”

Among those outcomes was last year’s unanimous verdict in the high-profile Collin Creek Mall redevelopment case, which cleared the way for the project to move forward after years of delays. Mr. Sayles served as lead defense counsel, successfully advocating on behalf of a third-party client in the lengthy legal battle.

Mr. Sayles consistently receives honors from other highly regarded legal guides, reflecting his influence and leadership both locally and nationally. In 2025, he has been recognized on the list of Texas Super Lawyers, as a Lawdragon Leading Litigator, a Chambers USA Senior Statesperson, and was featured on the list of D Magazine’s Best Lawyers in Dallas.

Best Law Firms awards are based on rigorous client feedback, peer reviews and professional references. Learn more and view the entire list at https://www.bestlawfirms.com/
