A Stronger and More Cost Efficient Legal Model
STEELE STURM, PLLC is an employment and litigation boutique with offices in Wells Fargo Plaza in downtown Houston. The firm was created when its two partners decided to create a stronger and more cost efficient legal model. Howard Steele and Charles Sturm both practiced in large international law firms and have experienced first hand the tension that a large firm litigation model has on the practice of law. We bring together expertise in labor and employment law, trade secret and non-competition law, commercial disputes, and appellate matters with a team of seasoned trial lawyers.
Since our founding, the firm's labor and employment practice has quickly earned an exemplary reputation for providing top caliber legal talent.
Our experienced trial lawyers have extensive state, federal, and administrative expertise. Moreover, many co-counsel (as well as adversaries) consider the firm unrivaled in trade secret/non-competition law matters and often refer these matters to Steele Sturm PLLC. While the firm prides itself on its expertise in trade secret/non-competition law matters, due to the varied experience of its attorneys, Steele Sturm PLLC is a true litigation boutique capable of handling a vast array of types of cases ranging from Intellectual Property Litigation to Business Litigation (including assuming advisory roles that are preemptive to litigation).
