Locke Lord Elizabeth Mack Dallas Office Managing Partner; All Three of Firm’s Texas Offices Led by Women

(AUSTIN and DALLAS) February 23, 2021 – Locke Lord’s Elizabeth Mack, Chair of the Firm’s Environmental – Real Estate and Corporate Section, has been named Dallas Office Managing Partner.

Mack will lead alongside Houston Office Managing Partner Laura Edrington, marking the first time in the Firm’s history that all of its Texas offices are led by women.

“As Partners and section chairs, Elizabeth is an outstanding lawyer and proven leader. As Office Managing Partners, she will continue Locke Lord’s tradition of preeminence in Texas while helping to usher the Firm into a bright future,” said Locke Lord Chair David Taylor.

These changes reflect Locke Lord’s ongoing commitment to diversity, with six offices across the Firm now run by women: Austin, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Locke Lord has four women on its Executive Committee, including one Vice Chair, and 12 women on its Board of Directors, including both Co-Chairs.

Mack also serves on the Firm’s Board of Directors and is a nationally known lawyer, with significant experience in brownfield redevelopment, environmental compliance, and environmental litigation. She has a deep understanding of the practical implications associated with environmental issues, combining business savvy with legal, scientific, and technical knowledge. She is a past Chair and current member of the Board of Directors of Texas Appleseed and serves on the Executive Committee of the Harvard Alumni Real Estate Board. Mack is a member of Locke Lord’s Firm Finance Committee and Women’s Initiative Committee.

Locke Lord has been a mainstay in Texas for 130 years, with strong roots, deep ties and a formidable presence in the state. The Firm has cultivated long-standing relationships with clients, and its experienced and dedicated lawyers are leaders — in the courtroom, in the boardroom and in the community.
