After outgrowing its Dallas quarters, the Firm moved from the First National Bank tower to Bank of America Plaza. The Firm represented Canadian developer Bramalea Ltd. in the building’s development. Standing at 921 feet and 72 stories, Bank of America Plaza is the tallest building in the Dallas skyline.
The Firm hired 13 first-year lawyers, the largest class to date in the Firm’s history.
Dallas attorney Mary Emma Karam became the first woman promoted to partner at Jackson Walker.
The Firm represented lenders of Kendavis Industries International Inc., an energy conglomerate, in a reorganization that repaid $916.6 million of debt—one of the biggest bankruptcy cases of that time.
