Doerner is excited to announce that we have named Tom Q. Ferguson as our Managing Partner. In addition, we have named Michael S. Linscott to serve on our executive committee, and James R. Bullard as partner.

Tom’s practice emphasizes complex commercial litigation covering diverse industries and legal issues such as oil and gas exploration and production, midstream transportation, utility service, construction, environmental claims, intellectual property, and protection of confidential information and trade secrets.  His practice also includes representation of individuals and small businesses prosecuting and defending commercial, contract, and tort claims as well as fiduciary duty matters.

Michael focuses in the area of complex litigation, including business disputes such as breach of contract and fiduciary duty claims, insurance coverage, contract and bad faith claims, securities arbitrations, construction cases, intellectual property matters and collection disputes.  He also provides general business counseling on logistics and acquisitions as well as pre-litigation advice and strategy for companies.

Jim’s practice is primarily in family law and civil litigation, particularly related to property division, support alimony, child custody and child support orders and modifications.  He also has experience drafting, enforcing, and challenging prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
