Bell Nunnally Partner Kartik R. Singapura has been selected to Texas Lawyer’s 2025 Texas Legal Awards “On the Rise” list, highlighting “Texas’ most promising lawyers under the age of 40,” and will be honored at an awards dinner on September 25 at the Arts District Mansion in Dallas. He is one of only 21 attorneys selected across the state and marks Bell Nunnally’s third selection, following Partner Saba F. Syed in 2024 and R. Heath Cheek in 2020.

Singapura’s nomination detailed his growing role at Bell Nunnally as a go-to resource for trial strategy and litigation support. His matters highlight his first-chair trial experience for real estate and commercial clients in high stakes trials throughout Texas and outside the state, including his work on a unanimous defense verdict that was one of the “Top 10 Commercial Litigation Verdicts” recognized by The Texas Lawbook that year.

Singapura’s selection to the “On the Rise” list is the latest in a series of honors, including listing in Benchmark Litigation’s “40 & Under” Hot List (2025) and Chambers and Partners’ “Litigation: General Commercial – Texas” category (2024-2025).

The Texas Legal Awards annually honor the attorneys and law firms making a lasting impact on the Texas legal landscape. “On the Rise” is one 21 categories with selection criteria noting that ideal nominees should be “innovators, developing unique practice niches, amassing robust books of business, demonstrating strong leadership qualities, showing expertise in litigation, in-house or transactional work and committing themselves to pro bono, charitable and professional volunteer work.”
