Meet John

A pragmatic, results-oriented litigator, John Sigety protects clients’ interests in complex business disputes, including intellectual property, employment, and other commercial matters. John has also worked hard to establish himself as a sports law expert that athletes and sports industry professionals can trust for advice and guidance. He translates complex concepts and aggressively negotiates to achieve favorable settlements with opposing counsel. To resolve disputes as quickly and cost-effectively as possible, he makes sure he always shoulders the litigation burden for clients, keeping them updated and on track.

Following his admission to the Texas Bar, John served as a judicial intern in the 68th Civil District Court in Dallas, where he gained valuable insight into the workings of trials and practice. He went on to gain considerable experience representing business owners, property managers, construction companies, municipalities, and other clients in civil defense matters. He has also advised healthcare professionals in medical malpractice lawsuits and medical board investigations. This range of experience enhances his ability to serve clients.
