The inaugural 2004 "Texas Super Lawyers – Rising Stars Edition" names four Gibbs & Bruns lawyers:
Business Litigation
Jeffry Cotner
Grant Harvey
Jeffrey Kubin
Appellate
Jennifer Horan Greer
Rising Stars are selected by a survey of all Texas Super Lawyers. The Super Lawyers are asked to nominate the best up-and-coming lawyers whom “they’ve personally observed in action." Candidates must be 40 years old or younger or in practice for less than ten years. Each nominee is given a score based on the number and type of votes received. Independent research is conducted on each nominee before the final list of Rising Stars is selected.
