The awards, sponsored by the Association of Corporate Counsel and the Houston Business Journal, honor the best and brightest of the legal profession.
The winner will be announced at the awards gala on October 4, 2007.
Bain secured his position as a finalist through his innovative practices in contract negotiation.

He has also been instrumental in negotiating service and license agreements with DataCert's Fortune 500® customers and managing the company's expansion into Europe.
"David's genuine admiration for entrepreneurial businesses and distinct experience as a lawyer and accountant landed him at DataCert," said Mark Poag, DataCert's general counsel and the Best Corporate Counsel Awards' 2006 Outstanding Solo Corporate Counsel. "It didn't take me long to realize that David is a perfect fit. He is an ambassador and professional on all fronts."
Bain earned his doctorate of jurisprudence from the University of Texas Law School and his master's degree in accounting from UT's Business School. He is also a CPA.
