McGinnis Lochridge Welcomes Veteran Litigator David Herrold as Partner in Dallas Office

DALLAS, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A seasoned trial attorney with more than three decades of experience navigating complex commercial disputes, David Herrold has joined McGinnis Lochridge as a partner in the firm's Dallas office. He deepens the firm's already notable litigation bench, expanding capabilities across banking, energy, and corporate matters in North Texas and beyond.

"David's extensive litigation background and business-minded approach align perfectly with our firm's mission to deliver practical, strategic legal solutions," said Carl Galant, firm managing partner. "We are proud to welcome him to McGinnis Lochridge."

Mr. Herrold represents clients in "bet-the-company" commercial and civil litigation across a wide range of industries. This includes matters involving banking and lender liability, consumer credit, creditors' rights, energy, commercial restructuring and workouts, errors and omissions (E&O) and directors and officers (D&O) defense. He also handles risk management matters. David regularly litigates in Texas and Oklahoma state and federal courts, before administrative tribunals and in arbitration proceedings.

"As we continue growing our Dallas presence, bringing on attorneys like David is a key part of that strategy," Dallas office managing partner Felicity Fowler said. "His reputation and experience will play an important role in deepening our stellar litigation team across the firm."

In addition to his litigation practice, Mr. Herrold serves as outside or general counsel to businesses and their executive teams, advising on corporate governance, organizational structure, management and compliance, business contracts and transactions.
