For the first time, the firm earned a nod for its litigation practice in Dallas/Fort Worth. Firm partner Scott Mascianica again earned recognition for white-collar crime and government investigations in Texas, and partner Rose Hunter Jones was again recognized with a national ranking in e-discovery and information governance.

Mr. Mascianica is the firm's head of government investigations and regulatory enforcement and a former SEC counsel. He is described by one client, according to Chambers, as "an all-around great lawyer."
"Scott has really exceptional technical expertise and experience. He is very well connected and relates to people well," a client told Chambers.
Ms. Jones received a highly sought-after Band 2 ranking nationwide for her e-discovery practice. Clients praised her as "impressive and driven."
One client told Chambers, "I would highly recommend working with Rose. She takes a unique approach to e-discovery and has specific expertise in the area."
Hilgers Graben's Dallas office, led by Grant Schmidt, is known for its sophisticated commercial litigation practice and high-level advocacy on matters nationwide.
"We've built a team in Dallas that reflects the firm's core values—delivering elite litigation services with efficiency, responsiveness, and integrity," said Mr. Schmidt. "It's gratifying to see our work recognized by Chambers as we continue to expand our footprint in the region."

Motor finance customers could receive payout as FCA will consult on scheme
Motor finance customers could receive a payout after the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced it will consult on an industry-wide compensation scheme. Many motor finance firms were not complying with rules or the law by not providing customers with relevant information about commission paid by lenders to the car dealers who sold the loans, the FCA said. It comes after Friday's ruling by the Supreme Court on cases in which the FCA had intervened. While some motor finance customers will not get compensation because in many cases commission payments were legal, the court ruled that in certain circumstances the failure to properly disclose commission arrangements could be unfair and therefore unlawful, the FCA added. The UK's highest court ruled that car dealers did not have a relationship with their customers that would require them to act 'altruistically' in the customers' interest. Nikhil Rathi, chief executive of the FCA, said: 'It is clear that some firms have broken the law and our rules. It's fair for their customers to be compensated. 'We also want to ensure that the market, relied on by millions each year, can continue to work well and consumers can get a fair deal. 'Our aim is a compensation scheme that's fair and easy to participate in, so there's no need to use a claims management company or law firm. If you do, it will cost you a significant chunk of any money you get. 'It will take time to establish a scheme but we hope to start getting people any money they are owed next year.' The FCA currently estimates that most individuals will probably receive less than £950 in compensation. The final total cost of any compensation scheme is currently estimated to be between £9 billion and £18 billion, the FCA added. The consultation will launch by early October. If the compensation scheme goes ahead, the first payments should be made in 2026.

UK's FCA proposes redress scheme for motor finance claims
LONDON (Reuters) -Britain's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said on Sunday it was proposing a redress scheme for consumers with motor finance claims following a Supreme Court ruling last week. "At this stage, we think it is unlikely that the cost of any scheme, including administrative costs would be materially lower than 9 billion pounds and it could be materially higher," the FCA said in a statement. The United Kingdom's top court on Friday ruled car dealers who sold vehicles and arranged the finance did not owe fiduciary duties to customers, and lenders were therefore not liable for the commission. The decision pushed up U.S.-listed shares of UK banks because it eased investors fears of a redress scheme that some analysts had warned could run into the tens of billions of pounds. But on Sunday the FCA said that after considering the judgement, it was still proposing a scheme and would consult on what it should look like. "Our consultation will cover how firms should assess whether the relationship between the lender and borrower was unfair for the purposes," the statement said. "Any redress scheme must be fair to consumers who have lost out and ensure the integrity of the motor finance market, so it works well for future consumers." Sign in to access your portfolio

Car finance mis-selling payout scheme could be worth billions
A compensation scheme for drivers over the mis-selling of car loans could cost as much as £18bn, the financial regulator has said. The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that hidden commissions from lenders to dealers on car loans were not unlawful, meaning millions of motorists will not be able to claim. However, the judgement left open the possibility of compensation claims for particularly large commissions which the Supreme Court said were unfair. Following the ruling, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has said it will run a payout scheme - estimated to cost between £9bn and £18bn.
