Hilliard Law is proud to celebrate Partner Alex Hilliard, who was recognized as a 2026 Corpus Christi Under 40 (CCU40) recipient at the annual awards ceremony on August 7.
Presented by Young Professionals of the Coastal Bend (YPCB), the CCU40 program honors outstanding professionals under the age of 40 who have demonstrated excellence in their careers while making meaningful contributions to the Corpus Christi community. Since its founding in 2006, the program has highlighted emerging leaders who are helping shape the future of the Coastal Bend through service, leadership, and professional achievement.
A Corpus Christi native, Alex is deeply invested in the community that shaped him. In addition to representing clients in complex and high-stakes litigation, he dedicates his time to mentoring local students through mock trial programs and supporting organizations that serve families throughout South Texas. His commitment to both the legal profession and the Coastal Bend reflects the values recognized by the CCU40 program.
Earlier this year, Alex was promoted to partner at Hilliard Law, a milestone that recognized years of dedication to clients, exceptional advocacy, and leadership within the firm. His work has helped secure significant results for individuals and families facing some of life's most difficult challenges.
“I am honored to be recognized as a Corpus Christi 40 Under 40 recipient alongside so many talented professionals who are making a difference in our community. Having grown up in Corpus Christi, this recognition is especially meaningful because this is the community that shaped me. This achievement is a reflection of the people who have supported and guided me throughout my career. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve the Coastal Bend and look forward to continuing to give back to the city I call home.”
The CCU40 recognition celebrates professionals who are making a lasting impact both inside and outside the workplace. Alex's leadership, service, and dedication to the Coastal Bend exemplify the spirit of this award.
Please join us in congratulating Alex on this well-deserved honor. We are proud to have him as a leader within our firm and look forward to seeing his continued impact on our clients, our community, and the legal profession.
