Nikki Araguz, who until now has been represented by Frye & Associations, said she expects Katine & Nechman will partner with national LGBT advocacy groups on the appeal.
Araguz said she chose to switch law firms because the high-profile case could have broad implications for transgender equality, possibly addressing fundamental legal questions about how gender is determined.
Pardon me, but isn't that exactly how she lost the first round? Trying to make this about huge 'fundamental legal questions about how gender is determined' instead of the much finer and smaller point (and easier to argue) of 'according to Texas law, who gets the money?'
