Bio:Gretchen S. Sween is committed to thinking like a lawyer yet communicating like an authentic human being. In doing so, she harnesses her background as an actor, theater director, writer, and professor, crafting creative solutions for clients-whether in court, in the conference room, or in her legal writing. In particular, she strives to produce legal briefs that are both helpful and gripping. She comes to Beck Redden from a multi-year stint teaching legal writing and appellate advocacy at The University of Texas School of Law, her alma mater, where she was voted a "Professor of the Year" by students in 2013. While teaching, she continued to play a leading role in high-profile appeals involving a wide range of issues-from social justice to patent rights to procedural matters affecting companies and individuals alike. Gretchen served as a judicial clerk to the Honorable Sim Lake of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas immediately after law school. She then commenced private practice, focusing primarily on complex commercial litigation and appellate matters. She was named a "Rising Star" in the profession by Thomas Reuters Super Lawyers-Texas each year from 2006-2011. She has published numerous articles in trade and academic journals, including The National Law Journal, Texas Lawyer, and Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property and is a regular contributor to the Texas State Bar Litigation Section's News for the Bar.
