Law Firm Overview

For five decades, Brown Sims, P.C., has tackled the unique and challenging legal questions facing the local, national and international communities. Whether this service is performed in the courtroom, the boardroom or in the community, Brown Sims has demonstrated its commitment to its clients, the legal profession and to the City of Houston.

With the growth of the offshore and energy industries, Thomas A. Brown and G. Byron Sims recognized the need for legal support in Houston and established a firm dedicated to quality service. Although the Firm originally focused on the maritime and energy industries, the requirements of its clients quickly caused Brown Sims to develop an extensive range of legal services.
