Ferguson Braswell Fraser Kubasta (FBFK) is a full-service corporate law firm located in Plano, TX, serving clients across North Texas. It provides business transactions, intellectual property, financial & securities, employment, litigation and commercial real estate services. Appreciated by clients for its people and commitment to relationships, FBFK's transparent approach to a business relationship provides value and exceptional client service. As founder and president, I oversee the strategic and business direction of the firm and practice in corporate law, securities, business formation and transactions.I formed FBFK after 6 years working for other business law firms. While some might say I was early in my career to start a firm, the relationships, client connections and desire to create a different type of law firm was all I needed. The business background and entrepreneurial spirit my dad imparted to me was the catalyst for creating a better legal model. I had observed the high price model of other law firms. I had experienced the lack of empathy toward the business owner. I envisioned a law firm like other relationship driven business. One that provided the highest quality service at the best value. The firm struggled initially as many early companies do. We pivoted and adjusted. The recession in 2008-2009 caused some challenges. But we persevered. Never wavering from our principles.Relationships kept things together. Attorneys that I worked with and shared the same business-oriented value joined as partners. Clients stayed with us. New ones joined. Today, I’m most proud of the team we’ve built. Working with business owners, I take great joy at helping them succeed. To provide that extra effort. To go above and beyond their expectations. To provide the value, service and empathy they deserve.Kyle Ferguson: L.

Jackson Walker is a Texas-based law firm with a national presence and global reach. With more than 375 attorneys, it's one of the largest firms in Texas providing comprehensive services in a broad range of practice areas.I joined JW’s Richardson, TX office to grow its client base of mid-market companies in the North Texas area. After 5 years at a smaller firm, I flourished with the expanded structure a larger firm provides. I focused on corporate law and transactional law applying the same work ethic and value-driven approach.Even though I was part of a larger firm, the local office provided the freedom and entrepreneurial opportunity like a smaller firm. I worked hard to grow my network and endear myself to clients and contacts by providing high value. In spite of a challenging economy and a significant contraction in the Richardson telecom corridor, my client base continued to grow along with my desire to serve those clients in the best manner possible.

Munck Wilson Mandala (formerly Davis Munck) is a technology-focused boutique law firm headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The firm provides full-service counsel to companies for corporate & securities, intellectual property and transactional law.Fresh out of school, I was looking to join a law firm that had a business focus yet one that shared my values. I wanted to learn and be exposed to different business situations like transactional law, business formation and financing. The culture and leadership at Davis Munck was ideal. It was an exciting 5 years.I was involved early with a local startup incubator/accelerator called StarTECH. I participated and helped many early-stage companies form and receive VC funding. I was exposed and involved in business formations, learned the ins and outs of business financing and securities law. After a few years of working extremely hard, the senior partner gained confidence in my abilities and encouraged my involvement with more client-facing opportunities. He recognized and appreciated my empathy and desire to help business owners. During these five years, I learned the value of relationships and the power of having a personal network. There were many great people I met and learned from that today are close business associates and clients.Kyle Ferguson: L.
