Blake focuses on complex commercial litigation and cases involving contract disputes, fraud, tortious interference with prospective and existing business relationships, theft of trade secrets, and other business torts. He has helped clients win verdicts at trial and through settlements at every stage of a lawsuit. His litigation background includes winning one of the top 100 verdicts in the state of Texas in 2019.
Prior to joining Calhoun Bhella & Sechrest in 2023, Blake worked in a boutique litigation firm for six years as a partner, and before that, seven years at the world’s largest law firm as a senior associate. During both tenures, Blake developed extensive courtroom experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts across the country in high-stakes litigation across a range of complex commercial litigation matters.
He routinely advises clients on all aspects of contract formation and compliance, with an emphasis on non-compete, non-solicitation, confidentiality, and non-disparagement clauses both pre-suit to avoid litigation and during litigation to best position his clients for success.
