R. Casey Low
Partner
After clerking at the Texas Supreme Court, Casey joined the Andrews Kurth litigation and appellate sections of the Austin office, where he is now a senior associate. Casey has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts, arbitration proceedings, and internal investigations both in Texas and nationally. His representations have involved a wide array of claims typical of complex commercial disputes on behalf of clients ranging from Fortune 500 member companies and foreign corporations to local individuals and small start-ups, spanning industries such as health care, technology, aviation, hotel, art, energy, financial services, and real estate. Casey's focus has often involved companies that have gone through internal struggles, such as partnership disputes or disputes with shareholders, or have been defamed or been the target of business disparagement or tortious interference with contracts or business relations by competitors.
