Compliance/Litigation Paralegal

Litigation Paralegal (3+ years’ experience) — Brown Sims (Houston, TX)

About the Practice The practice focuses on complex civil litigation, with a strong emphasis on personal‑injury defense, products liability, premises liability, transportation and trucking, wrongful death, construction injuries and defects, and commercial disputes. The team represents clients across the construction, energy, healthcare, hospitality, insurance, manufacturing, retail, and transportation industries, handling matters from early investigation through depositions, dispositive motions, mediation, and trial in Texas state and federal courts.
