(Dallas) - Andrews Kurth LLP partner, Kay Lynn Brumbaugh, has been recognized as one of Dallas’ most formidable and accomplished business defense lawyers in “The Defenders,” a special publication of the Dallas Business Journal highlighting 15 local attorneys who companies turn to in high-stakes litigation.

"I am honored to be recognized for the work I do on behalf of our clients," says Brumbaugh, a partner in Andrews Kurth's litigation section. "I am humbled to have been selected from the accomplished community of lawyers in Dallas."

To determine its third annual listing of “The Defenders,” published May 22, 2009, reporters and editors from the Dallas Business Journal interviewed general counsels, judges and other attorneys across the city to identify the “go-to” attorneys for high-stakes legal matters.

“The firm is extremely proud of Kay Lynn and this well-deserved recognition,” says Andrews Kurth Dallas Office Managing Partner Mark Solomon. “Kay Lynn's dedication to her work and her clients makes this award especially fitting.”

Brumbaugh represents clients in the areas of antitrust litigation and counseling, class actions, and other complex commercial and business litigation matters. She was profiled as one of the leading antitrust lawyers in Texas in Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business (2007-2009). She has also been recognized as a Texas "Super Lawyer" by Texas Monthly every year since 2003 and she was named one of the “Best Lawyers in Dallas Under 40” by D Magazine in 2002 and 2004.
