After law school, Maryann joined Jenkins & Gilchrist in Dallas and practiced in its litigation section, specializing in complex commercial litigation. In 2002, she joined the Dallas office of Jones Day where she continued to practice litigation until relocating to Austin.

Maryann’s litigation experience includes the areas of commercial, construction, tax, class action, products liability and intellectual property and encompasses cases ranging in size, complexity and subject matter - from large multiparty litigation to single party breach of contract cases. She continues to focus her practice on commercial litigation, insurance law and related appeals.
