Mary-Ellen King is a partner at Lucosky Brookman LLP, where her practice focuses primarily on complex insurance coverage litigation, commercial litigation, business litigation, general civil litigation, and real estate litigation.
King takes the reins as president of the Austin Bar on July 1, 2024. Austin Lawyer recently interviewed her about her plans for the upcoming bar year.
AL: What are some of your main priorities as president of the Austin Bar?
KING: My chief priority is raising awareness for mental health, substance abuse, and suicide in the legal profession—whether it be lawyers facing these issues or family members of lawyers facing these issues, there are resources available to them, and the Bar is here to help.
I am also focused on DEI, increasing membership, and pro bono service to the community.
