Brown Sims’ involvement in Houston extends beyond providing legal services. The Firm is committed to enhancing the quality of legal education with its support of the law school in Houston as well as by its involvement with foundations such as the Judge John R. Brown Scholarship Foundation.

The Firm has assisted industry groups such as the Greater Houston Partnership and International Association of Drilling Contractors, and has supported numerous local, state and federal bar associations in such areas as admissions, grievances and community organizations. The Firm’s contribution to Houston is not limited to work within the bar associations, but includes handling of pro bono matters and support of organizations as diverse as the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the Houston International Seafarers’ Center, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the American Cancer Society.

The dedication that Brown Sims has shown to its clients and the community is also reflected in the Firm’s devotion to the advancement of the law. While several of the Firm’s former attorneys have distinguished themselves as judges and in the political arena, other attorneys have published extensively on important legal issues, prepared amicus curiae briefs in significant cases, and given lectures to groups across the country.

These efforts have borne fruit with changes in the law from local courts to the United States Supreme Court. The commitment to client needs, legal development and community service is fundamental to the interests and goals of the attorneys at Brown Sims.
