Background

About Gabrielle C. Smith

I am an experienced litigator and trusted advisor, helping clients navigate complex legal challenges from pre-trial through appeal in both state and federal courts. With experience spanning government and private sectors, I understand the stakes for my clients and deliver solutions that balance technical legal nuance with practical outcomes. I have represented both employers and employees in judicial and administrative matters involving complaints of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claims under Title VII, ADA, GINA, Equal Pay Act, ADEA, and USERRA. Routinely, I advise on corporate governance matters including amendments to certificates of formation and by-laws, meeting and notice requirements, and corporate structure and status issues to assess litigation risk or represent clients on claims that must be adjudicated. As a general civil litigator and appellate attorney, my practice has taken me into a variety of subjects, giving me the ability to navigate disputes in a wide range of matters. I am committed to excellence in the courtroom and beyond. Outside of my client work, I am deeply engaged in the legal and local community, particularly in fostering inclusion, civility, and service within the profession. I believe in using my skills and position not only to serve clients but also to uplift others along the way. I am passionate about mentorship, legal advocacy, and making a meaningful impact in the Texas legal community.
