Haynes and Boone has boosted its appellate and energy practices, hiring prominent Texas appellate lawyer Mike Hatchell in Austin and energy litigators Craig Stahl and Jeffrey Kuehnle in Houston.

Hatchell left Locke Lord to join Haynes and Boone as counsel. Stahl and Kuehnle, now partners at Haynes and Boone, came from Andrews Kurth Kenyon.
