Back in the day, Alan Bush wrote for Texas Lawyer routinely. He’s now back in the saddle again.

Texas Lawyer has inked another agreement with Alan. Every few months, expect another article. Alan relates what he’s learned in life and law into actionable steps for lawyers. This time, he’ll cover mediation, legal ethics and negotiations.

Here is one of Alan’s favorite articles – “Work Boots, Not Wing Tips.” Alan wrote it after spending a day out on an oil rig. He took these lessons back to his legal practice:

Get out on the rig floor.
Get your hands dirty.
Feed a hungry client.
Understand who is the rock star.
Do it yourself.
Cover the home front.

Alan Bush is a mediator based near The Woodlands. He mediates disputes primarily in Montgomery County and Harris County.
