February 3, 2026 – Seyfarth Shaw LLP has named Suzanna Bonham managing partner of the firm’s Houston office, marking an exciting new chapter for Seyfarth in Texas. Bonham, who joined Seyfarth in 2013, brings more than two decades of leadership experience as a litigator, strategist, and trusted advisor to clients and firm leadership alike.
Bonham has built a formidable reputation both in the Houston market and across Texas. She is a go-to advocate for clients in energy, health care, construction, real estate, and transportation—delivering results that align with business objectives and drive success. Her track record includes high-stakes litigation in contract disputes, business torts, and a range of other claims, consistently securing favorable resolutions that protect operations, resolve complex disputes, and position companies for sustainable growth.
Her leadership is equally palpable within the firm’s Houston office, where she is accelerating the use of Seyfarth’s AI and advanced technology among attorneys and professionals to elevate the delivery of legal services.
“For years, Seyfarth has been a quiet powerhouse in Houston,” said Bonham. “That changes now. We’re ready to amplify that success so the market sees what our clients experience every day: innovative strategies, measurable impact, and a forward-thinking approach that sets a high bar for legal services across Texas and beyond. I’m honored to lead a team that’s doubling down on innovation, growth, and collaboration—and positioned to make an even greater impact in the Houston market.”
Seyfarth has been a driving force in the legal community throughout Houston and the state of Texas since 1995. The Houston office has become a major hub for employment, energy, health care, commercial litigation, construction, corporate, venture capital and securities, mergers and acquisitions, international privacy, and real estate law. Under Bonham’s leadership, the office is poised to deepen its presence in these dynamic markets and continue to set the standard for client service and innovation.
“Suzanna is a highly respected leader who brings a bold vision for the future of the office and a dedication to innovation in legal services,” said Lorie Almon, Seyfarth’s chair and managing partner. “Houston has been a key market for Seyfarth for 30 years as many of our national clients have direct connections to Houston and throughout Texas. We are very excited to have Suzanna serve in this pivotal role with the enthusiastic support of her colleagues.”
Bonham succeeds Mark Coffin, who has led the Houston office since 2011 and was instrumental in Seyfarth’s expansion in the region, including the opening of its Dallas office in 2023.
Bonham recently moderated the Invest: Houston Leadership Summit, an example of her standing in the Houston business community. She is ranked by Best Lawyers in America for Commercial Litigation and Litigation-Health Care. She earned her JD at South Texas College of Law and her BA at the University of Texas.
