Outside Counsel

Texas Woman's University is seeking to establish a pool of qualified law firms and attorneys through a Request for Qualifications process, in accordance with Texas state laws and administrative codes. The purpose of this RFQ is to identify and pre-qualify legal service providers across multiple practice areas, including contracts and agreements, real estate, construction, intellectual property, immigration, tax, charitable trust administration, technology law, investigations, bond counsel, employment, governance, and public information laws. The selected firms or attorneys will be contracted on an as-needed basis by the university's Office of General Counsel to handle specific legal matters that arise during the contract period. The solicitation emphasizes creating a flexible and responsive legal resource pool to support TWU’s operational and legal needs. The RFQ was posted on June 4, 2025, with a deadline for responses set for July 1, 2025. Contract sizes are estimated to range from a minimum of $500,000 to a maximum of $2,000,000. Interested parties can contact Chelle Jezek via email or phone for further information and are encouraged to review the solicitation details through the provided online link. This initiative aims to streamline legal services procurement, ensuring TWU has access to experienced legal counsel across a broad spectrum of legal issues relevant to higher education and public institutions in Texas.
