Shapiro Bieging Barber Otteson announced today that the firm has changed its name to Otteson Shapiro LLP.  

Along with the name change, the firm unveiled a new logo and changes to its website at www.os.law. The new name was effective February 1, 2021.

Managing Partner Steve Shapiro said, “We are very pleased to announce our new name and new look.  And while our name has changed, our pursuit of excellence and our commitment to our clients and stakeholders is stronger than ever.” 

Mr. Shapiro, who leads the firm’s Insurance Law Practice Group, added that the name change is also an acknowledgment of the continued outstanding work of partner Christian Otteson, who leads the firm’s Banking, Lending & Financial Institutions practice. Mr. Otteson has been a key player in some of the largest local and regional bank mergers in recent years, including representing Legacy Texas Bank in its $2.1 billion merger with Prosperity Bank, the second largest bank merger in Texas history.

Locally the firm also represented Guaranty Bancorp, in its $1 billion merger with Independent Bank Group.

Mr. Shapiro’s practice is focused on commercial litigation, primarily with respect to the representation of policyholders, construction professionals, developers, financial institutions, and private and public business enterprises. He devotes a considerable portion of his practice to the recovery of insurance benefits on behalf of policyholders.
