Schouest, Bamdas, Soshea, BenMaier & Eastham PLLC (SBSB

The office will allow the firm to grow its already robust team
of litigators and expand its depth of services in and around North
Texas.
“Dallas is an important city for our firm. We have a number of
clients in the area, so there has always been a desire to have a
presence there,” said SBSB Eastham Managing Partner John Schouest.

prime opportunity to move forward and turn that goal into a
reality.”

The new Dallas office becomes SBSB Eastham’s third office in
Texas and its seventh nationally.
The Dallas team will be led by veteran Dallas trial attorney Tom
Jacks. Mr. Jacks has extensive experience representing corporations
in high-stakes litigation. He also handles catastrophic personal
injury and wrongful death claims, construction defect disputes,
product liability recalls and intellectual property infringement,
and his caseload ranges from oilfield accidents and premises
liability cases to interstate transportation issues and
construction negligence.
“I am very excited to have the opportunity to work with this
amazing team of lawyers,” said Mr. Jacks. “I appreciate the firm’s
commitment to establishing and growing its presence in North Texas
and look forward to being an integral part of its expansion.”
Mr. Jacks will be joined by partners Trevor Brown, David
Henderson, Reid Hudgins, Pryce Tucker and Rasha Zeyadeh.
Mr. Brown is a seasoned litigator who focuses his practice on
defending contractors and design professionals, including those who
build homes, schools, and business developments across Texas, from
defect and personal injury claims. He also tries personal injury
cases, commercial litigation matters, and business disputes.
Mr. Henderson is a construction and design defect litigator
whose work includes defending contractors and subcontractors
against construction defects, negligence, breach of contract,
breach of warranty, and defense and indemnity claims. He also has
handled professional liability litigation for design and
engineering professionals, which gives him a unique understanding
of design and construction processes and risk management
methods.
Mr. Hudgins is an experienced trial attorney who represents
clients in both state and federal court. He handles product
liability litigation, personal injury defense, construction defect
defense, trucking and transportation, and multidistrict
litigation.
Mr. Tucker focuses on defending against wrongful death,
catastrophic personal injury and property damage claims. His
casework ranges from commercial vehicle crashes and heavy equipment
mishaps to oilfield accidents and environmental contamination
claims. Mr. Tucker also has more than two decades of experience
handling products liability cases.
Ms. Zeyadeh, who will head the Dallas office’s labor and
employment practice, is an experienced litigator who advises and
defends employers and employees on all aspects of labor and
employment law, including breach of contract, discrimination,
sexual harassment, retaliation, and wage and hour. She also
counsels clients on preventative strategies and compliance matters,
and conducts internal investigations. In addition to her labor and
employment work, Ms. Zeyadeh handles personal injury, premises
liability, products liability, transportation, and insurance
defense cases.
