Biography
Tamara Schiffner Pullin is a trial lawyer whose practice encompasses all forms of business-related litigation in both state and federal courts, as well as commercial arbitration. Tamara’s practice focuses on complex commercial litigation, principally in the areas of computer technology, trademark, copyright, cyber-piracy, antitrust, business fraud, fraudulent transfer, and franchising matters. Recently, Tamara has extended her practice to include representation of Oklahoma employers in labor and employment litigation. On behalf of plaintiffs as often as defendants, Tamara manages all aspects of civil litigation cases, from inception through completion, including motion practice, written discovery, depositions, hearings, settlement negotiations, client management and counseling.
Prior to joining McAfee & Taft in 2006, Tamara worked as a litigation associate in the Dallas, TX, office of Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP and the Houston, TX, office of Fulbright & Jaworski, LLP. Her experience with those firms included cases involving complex commercial litigation, computer technology, copyright infringement and antitrust litigation.
An example of Tamara’s work can be found in the published opinion of Yokogawa Corporation of America v. Skye International Holdings, Inc., 159 S.W.3d 266 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2005), in which Tamara represented a group of defendants accused of violating the Texas Fraudulent Transfer Act, among other claims, in relation to a business acquisition and subsequent sale of assets. Tamara successfully defended all claims through resolution on motion for summary judgment, which was affirmed in all regards by the Texas Court of Appeals.
While practicing in Texas, Tamara was twice named a "Texas Rising Star" by Law and Politics magazine. The honor, which is based on nominations by members of the elite Texas Super Lawyers list, recognizes the state's top up-and-coming young attorneys.
She is also the author of “The Employer Escape Chute from Punitive Liability Under Kolstad v. American Dental Ass’n”, 54 Oklahoma Law Review 181 (2001).
