represented Baylor Law as a member of the Interscholastic Moot Court Team, Baylor’s Sports Law Negotiation Team, and Baylor’s Transactional Law Team, winning Best Buyer Draft & Markup and Best Buyer Negotiation at the 2021 Duke Transactional Law Competition. Tamer served in leadership roles in the Student Bar Association as Class Secretary during his 2L and 3L year and as Secretary of Baylor Public Interest Law Society.

After graduating from Baylor in May 2021, Tamer moved to Longview with his wife, Rachel, and joined the Sloan Firm. Tamer is excited to start his legal career serving East Texans. He is a member of the
