Press Release Body: The global law firm of Thompson & Knight LLP is pleased to
congratulate Partner Gregory S.C. Huffman on being named one of "The Nation's Top 10
Antitrust Lawyers" by United States Lawyer Rankings 2008. This is his second
consecutive year to be named to this prestigious list. Huffman is ranked third in
this year's ranking, moving up from fifth in 2007.

Huffman is a Partner in the Trial Practice Group of the Firm's Dallas office and
leads the Antitrust Practice Specialty Group. He has more than 30 years of trial
experience and focuses his practice on antitrust, complex commercial litigation, and
criminal investigations. He is a frequent speaker and writer on antitrust,
litigation, and professional topics.

Lawyers are nominated for inclusion in the United States Lawyer Rankings by members
of the Bar, the Judiciary, and by senior management of large corporate and
institutional clients. Lawyers are not allowed to nominate themselves, nor any
members of their own firm. Lawyers are ranked based on confidential questionnaires
which are graded out of 100 points. Only attorneys with a minimum of 90 points or
higher are eligible to be included in the rankings.

The questionnaire includes general inquiries on the attorney's legal ability;
negotiating, drafting, and oral advocacy skills; and ability to develop creative
solutions when faced with new issues. Other questions include: does the attorney
get personally involved to the appropriate level in his/her cases; how well does the
attorney staff a case or matter; how much does the attorney add to the body of
knowledge in his/her practice area; and would you retain this attorney to handle a
matter for yourself or a close family member?

About United States Lawyer Rankings

United States Lawyer Rankings was established by a consortium of U.S. corporations
in order to recognize those lawyers who have consistently provided the highest
degree of legal representation, so that their members, as well as other businesses
and individual clients, can have a degree of guidance when choosing to retain a law
firm. Although United States Lawyer Rankings does wish to recognize those lawyers
who have provided the finest level of legal representation, the main purpose of the
rankings is to provide guidance for potential clients, not to benefit the lawyers.
For this reason, they do not distribute marketing materials and have no contact with
law firm marketing departments. They do not accept payments from lawyers, law
firms, or third parties for advertisements, professional listings, bound volumes, or
additional payments of any kind.
