Hunter M. Barrow at Andrews Myers: A Board-Certified Houston Trial Lawyer Jurors Say They Could Relate To

Origin and Background

Hunter M. Barrow earned a B.B.A. from Baylor University in 1995 before his J.D. from South Texas College of Law in 1999, and was admitted to the State Bar of Texas in 2000. After roughly 19 years building a commercial trial practice, including time at Thompson & Knight, Barrow joined Andrews Myers in 2019 as part of a trio of experienced trial lawyers brought in specifically to launch and lead the firm’s new Business Litigation Practice Group — a group he continues to lead as a shareholder today. Andrews Myers itself was founded in Houston in 1990 and has grown into a Texas-based corporate law firm with more than 45 attorneys across Houston and Austin offices.

Practice Concentration

Barrow’s practice spans trial and appellate courts, covering securities, financial-institution, energy, real estate, intellectual property, antitrust, insurance, product-liability, and general commercial disputes, representing clients across energy, banking and finance, real estate development, private equity, and manufacturing. Andrews Myers as a firm concentrates on construction, business litigation, real estate, corporate, energy, employment, and bankruptcy-creditors’ rights matters, with Barrow’s group handling breach-of-contract claims, business torts, and partnership disputes for clients on both sides of a dispute. See this Houston Business Litigation directory for how this firm’s Business Litigation Practice Group compares to other commercial litigation firms serving Harris County.

Notable Work / Track Record

Barrow’s own attorney biography discloses a matter in which he represented a homebuilder in defending against and asserting claims for injunctive relief, breach of contract, slander, and tortious interference against an architect and a homeowner. His published legal commentary spans COVID-19 business-interruption insurance claims, material-adverse-change clauses in the context of the pandemic market decline, a Texas Supreme Court ruling on the precise language required for email contracts to bind parties, and changes to the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act — indicating a practice that tracks Texas commercial law developments closely rather than relying on generic subject-matter claims. Awesome Attorneys did not identify a published table of verdicts or settlement figures for Barrow individually; case outcomes in complex commercial litigation depend on the specific facts involved, and past results do not guarantee similar outcomes in any other case.

Client Voice

Clients quoted in Benchmark: Litigation, an independent legal-rankings publication, describe Barrow’s “questioning process in jury selection” as “outstanding, as were his opening and closing arguments,” adding that “he enabled the jury to relate to us.” Separately, Martindale-Hubbell client reviews contributed to Barrow earning Client Champion recognition, an award based on the quantity and quality of submitted client reviews rather than a self-reported claim. Awesome Attorneys did not identify any negative or adverse reviews for Barrow across the platforms checked.

Beyond the Courtroom

Barrow has held leadership roles within the State Bar of Texas Litigation Section, including co-chairing its Private Equity Litigation Subcommittee from 2011 to 2015 and its Banking and Lender Liability Litigation Subcommittee from 2008 to 2011. He has also spoken publicly on trial practice topics, including moderating a National Board of Trial Advocacy CLE program on advocacy and co-authoring guidance for the Association of Corporate Counsel on jury selection and trial teamwork between in-house and outside counsel. Awesome Attorneys did not identify separate nonprofit board service documented for him.

Recognition for This Houston Business Litigation Attorney

Barrow is Board Certified in Civil Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a certification independently confirmed through his State Bar of Texas and Lawyers.com attorney records — the basis on which Awesome Attorneys applies “specialist” language to his practice, consistent with house policy reserving that term for genuine TBLS certification. He additionally holds Board Certified Civil Practice Advocate and Board Certified Civil Trial Advocate designations from the National Board of Trial Advocacy, and was named to the Top 100 Texas Super Lawyers and Top 100 Houston Super Lawyers lists for business, securities, and general litigation in 2023.

Texas Legal Backdrop

Most Texas breach-of-contract claims carry a four-year limitations period, while fraud and breach-of-fiduciary-duty claims are separately subject to a four-year period under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.004. Trade-secret misappropriation claims — a subject Barrow has written on directly — are governed by the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act (Civil Practice & Remedies Code Chapter 134A), which carries a three-year limitations period. The Texas Supreme Court ruling Barrow has cited on email-contract formation underscores that electronic communications can bind parties to a contract only when they satisfy specific statutory and common-law formation requirements. A prevailing party’s right to recover attorney’s fees on many contract claims runs through Chapter 38 of the Civil Practice & Remedies Code. None of this is legal advice; a specific business dispute should be evaluated by a licensed Texas attorney based on the actual facts involved.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Barrow’s clearest differentiator is the combination of TBLS board certification in civil trial law with a leadership role heading a mid-size firm’s dedicated Business Litigation Practice Group, backed by independently sourced client feedback specifically praising his jury-selection and trial-presentation skills. The honest trade-off is that, as part of a broader corporate firm rather than a pure litigation boutique, Andrews Myers’ business litigation work sits alongside the firm’s construction, real estate, and transactional practices — a structure that suits clients who want ongoing business-law relationships alongside litigation, but may be less specialized than a litigation-only shop for a one-off dispute. For a Harris County business seeking a board-certified trial lawyer within a firm that can also handle related transactional needs, Barrow’s credentials and Benchmark-sourced client feedback are a reasonable basis for a shortlist.
