Our History

Baron & Budd was founded in 1977 in Dallas, Texas, with a singular mission: to represent individuals and families who have been harmed by corporate negligence and wrongdoing. For over four decades, we have been at the forefront of some of the most significant legal battles in American history.

From our early work in asbestos litigation to our current leadership in class action lawsuits and mass torts, we have consistently fought for those who cannot fight alone. Our firm has recovered billions of dollars for our clients, helping them rebuild their lives and secure their futures.

Today, Baron & Budd continues to lead the fight for justice, representing clients across the nation in complex litigation against some of the world's largest corporations.

What We Do

Baron & Budd specializes in complex civil litigation, including class action lawsuits, mass torts, and individual cases involving corporate wrongdoing. We represent individuals, families, and communities who have been harmed by dangerous products, environmental contamination, corporate fraud, and other forms of corporate negligence.

Our practice areas include asbestos and mesothelioma litigation, environmental contamination cases, dangerous drugs and medical devices, opioid lawsuits, consumer fraud, and whistleblower cases. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning our clients pay nothing unless we recover compensation for them.

We believe that every person deserves access to justice, regardless of their financial resources. Our contingency fee model ensures that anyone with a valid case can pursue legal action against powerful corporations.
