McCathern, Shokouhi, Evans, a leading Texas-based law firm, today announced its inclusion on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the nation’s most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The firm ranked No. 3,137 on this year’s list, marking a significant milestone in its continued growth and expansion. The Inc. 5000 recognition reflects a period of sustained transformation for the firm. In the last 12 years, McCathern, Shokouhi, Evans has grown its workforce by more than 415% and increased revenue by approximately 275%, while completing multiple successful mergers and strengthening its presence across Texas and nationally. “This recognition is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and vision of our entire team,” said Arnold Shokouhi, CEO and Partner at McCathern, Shokouhi, Evans. “Our growth has never been about numbers alone — it’s about building a firm that delivers exceptional results for our clients while creating opportunities for our people. Being named to the Inc. 5000 alongside the nation’s most dynamic companies is an incredible honor, and it reflects the trajectory we’ve built together over the last few years.” At the heart of that growth is the firm’s mission: improving people’s lives. McCathern, Shokouhi, Evans believes that mission is only possible through the trust earned from its employees, clients, and the judges and opposing counsel before whom the firm appears daily. That trust, built case by case and relationship by relationship, is what the firm credits as the true foundation of its growth. This latest honor builds on a string of recent recognitions for the firm. In 2025, McCathern, Shokouhi, Evans was named one of the SMU Cox Dallas 100™ Fastest-Growing Companies by the SMU Cox Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship, ranking 62nd on the 2025 list. That recognition highlighted a transformational year for the firm, marked by significant expansion, strategic mergers, and a 30% increase in team size in 2025 alone — growth driven in large part by the firm’s recruitment and retention efforts. Today, McCathern, Shokouhi, Evans continues to expand its footprint across Texas and California, broadening its depth of service across more than 30 practice areas, including commercial litigation, employment law, family law, white collar & government investigations, media & entertainment, real estate, and more.

MCCATHERN, SHOKOUHI, EVANS LAUNCHES DEBUT PODCAST, “THE LAW BEHIND THE HEADLINES”

July 20, 2026

McCathern, Shokouhi, Evans (McCathern PLLC) law firm launched its debut podcast “The Law Behind the Headlines.” Hosted by attorneys Levi McCathern, Arnold Shokouhi, and Carl Evans, the podcast breaks down the legal dimensions of the biggest, most talked-about stories in the news cycle. Listen to the first episode of “The Law Behind the Headlines” HERE “The Law Behind the Headlines” showcases a rare glimpse into the mindset behind the world’s most famous legal cases. The podcast isn’t your average legal content – episodes feature hot-topic legal commentary, along with expertise and genuine laughs from the firm’s three equity partners and a mix of future guests who will add their own spin to the conversation. “The law shouldn’t feel like a locked room only lawyers can enter. With ‘The Law Behind the Headlines,’ we’re handing everyone the key — breaking down the cases making news in a way that actually makes sense,” said Levi McCathern. “Our firm has been part of this legal community for 28 years, and since Carl and I joined Levi in 2012, we’ve built a practice — and a friendship — around exactly these kinds of conversations,” said Arnold Shokouhi. “This podcast is our chance to bring people into the discussions we’re already having, minus the legal jargon.” “Some of the biggest headlines start with a legal question nobody’s answering clearly. We wanted to fix that — and have some fun doing it,” said Carl Evans. The first four episodes include an introduction to the three partners — how they met and their years of friendship; a “legal mythbusters” segment tackling common misconceptions (no, those text messages don’t just disappear because you delete them); and a deep dive into the Jeffrey Epstein case and the legal truth behind the headlines. Listeners will also get to know Arnold Shokouhi’s remarkable personal journey — from escaping Iran as a child to becoming an owner of a quickly growing law firm. Future episodes will feature special guests, including criminal law attorneys sharing real examples from cases they’ve worked on, along with leaders in their fields weighing in on today’s hot topics.
