Jenkens & Gilchrist P.C. was a Dallas-based law firm founded in 1951 as Jenkens & Bowens to service the various businesses controlled by Clint Murchison Jr. The Dallas Morning News was an early client. As a result of the extent of Murchison family holdings the firm soon developed expertise in corporate transactions. In the 1980s the firm faced liability and financial difficulties resulting from involvement in the Savings and Loan Crisis.
