As a trial lawyer with more than a decade of experience, Margaret Terwey helps corporate decisionmakers understand their duties, manage risk, and act with integrity under pressure, both in and out of the courtroom.
Margaret’s clients range from major public companies to closely held entities and has extensive experience guiding boards, officers, and organizations through complex governance challenges and high-stakes litigation. She has counseled officers and directors navigating government investigations—including proceedings before the SEC and FDIC—and has represented clients in complex M&A disputes, shareholder litigation, and governance conflicts before the Delaware Court of Chancery and other state and federal courts.
Margaret brings the same rigor to pro bono and public interest work. She has secured the return of a child in a federal Hague Convention international abduction case, obtained asylum for a persecuted minor child, and collaborated with the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, the Texas Association of Broadcasters, and education nonprofit Giveducation on amicus briefs before the Fifth Circuit and the Supreme Court of the United States. Margaret also advises nonprofit boards on governance matters, including reviewing governing documents for compliance with Texas and IRS requirements.
Outside of her practice, Margaret enjoys spending time with her husband and three children, reading, and running marathons to fundraise for the National Brain Tumor Society. She is an active member of the St. Rita Catholic Community and a member of the PTO Board at The Winston School.
