HOUSTON – Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP, a full-service national law firm with offices from coast to coast, is pleased to welcome partner Renesha Fountain to its office in Houston, Texas. Fountain is the tenth tax attorney to join the firm from Chamberlain Hrdlicka since July. 

“Renesha is a welcomed addition to the firm and will be a valuable asset to our Tax Controversy and Litigation practice. With two decades of experience, she enhances the firm’s collective knowledge and depth of tax law,” said Houston office managing partner Craig Dillard.  

Fountain joins the firm’s Tax Controversy and Litigation practice. She is the current chair of the Tax Section of the State Bar of Texas. Fountain earned her JD from Louisiana State University Paul M. Hebert Law Center before going on to earn her LLM in Taxation from Georgetown University Law Center.

“I’m excited to join Nelson Mullins, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to help expand the firm’s tax and tax controversy practices,” Fountain said. “I look forward to working with a great group of talented attorneys to continue providing excellent services to new and existing clients.”

Nelson Mullins opened its Houston office in April 2024 with 10 attorneys. Since then, it’s more than doubled in size with the current office headcount at 25.
