Texas Lawbook Profiles Quentin Smith: From Morehouse to Michigan and MDLs

Vinson & Elkins Partner Quentin Smith was featured in The Texas Lawbook’s Asked and Answered series, which highlights the work of leading Texas lawyers and offers insight into their lives outside the courtroom.

Smith shares career milestones, including securing an $80 million breach of contract verdict for Huntsman Chemicals and leading litigation efforts for Oncor Electric following Winter Storm Uri.

“One of my rituals is to purchase jelly beans for the trial team — and they’re the Starburst jelly beans,” Smith told The Texas Lawbook about his trial routine. They are “a hit in the war room, and so I usually bring like giant bags of Starburst jelly beans. They disappear instantly.”
