Career

Clients trust Brandon Allen to thoroughly understand any complex matter he faces, to outwork his opponents, and to deliver favorable results without unnecessarily combative behavior. While he has successfully handled complex commercial cases across industries, Brandon is a go-to attorney for large construction cases and energy disputes. In fact, Legal 500 has recognized Brandon’s strong track record in Energy Litigation. He has achieved successful outcomes in high-stakes, multi-million dollar cases for clients such as Energy Transfer Partners, Wood Group Mustang, United Salt Corporation, Zachry Construction, and Beazley Group. Driven by the desire to make things right, Brandon explores every detail in a dispute and has been known to turn challenging cases around completely in favor of his clients.

Brandon graduated from The University of Texas School of Law with High Honors after serving as Editor-in-Chief of the Texas Law Review. He then clerked for Judge Royce C. Lamberth of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Brandon co-founded Reynolds Frizzell LLP, which has repeatedly been named a Top Ten Litigation Boutique in America by Benchmark Litigation.
