At West Mermis PLLC, we are proud to support the companies that are building Houston’s future. Last week, our team had the opportunity to tour a new downtown office project constructed by our client, Gallant Commercial.
This site visit was more than just a walk-through of an impressive new space—it was an opportunity for our attorneys to see firsthand the tangible impact of the work our clients do every day. The project spans over 10 floors and will house hundreds of employees, showcasing Gallant Commercial’s ability to deliver large-scale, high-impact developments that shape Houston’s skyline. Being on-site allowed us to appreciate the scale, craftsmanship, planning, and innovation involved in creating a modern office environment that contributes to Houston’s thriving business community.
Gallant Commercial has been a valued client of West Mermis for many years, and we are proud to have grown alongside them. Over time, we have witnessed their dedication to quality construction and their commitment to elevating Houston’s skyline. This long-term partnership reflects mutual trust, respect, and a shared dedication to excellence.
Touring this downtown office project emphasized not only the vision and skill required to bring such developments to life, but also the broader impact these projects have on the city’s economy and community. The project included over 40 subcontractors, highlighting the level of collaboration, management, and planning necessary to ensure a successful build. We are especially grateful to Luis Reyes and Christopher Hoelscher of Gallant Commercial for guiding our team through the project and providing detailed insights into its planning, execution, and design. Their expertise and willingness to share their knowledge enhanced our understanding of the intricacies involved in large-scale commercial construction.
For our attorneys, site visits are a critical part of understanding the construction industry in Houston. Observing projects in person helps us gain context beyond what contracts and documents alone can provide.
By seeing the work as it unfolds, we develop a deeper appreciation for the challenges and opportunities our clients encounter, from scheduling and budget management to regulatory compliance and on-site coordination. This perspective allows us to provide more practical, informed legal advice across all aspects of construction law and litigation.
Whether it’s advising on contract negotiations, navigating disputes, or supporting complex litigation, having firsthand knowledge of a project strengthens our ability to protect our clients’ interests while fostering productive, long-term relationships.
At West Mermis, we see our role as more than legal advisors—we are partners invested in our clients’ success. Our longstanding relationship with Gallant Commercial is a testament to the trust and collaboration that define our firm’s approach.
The downtown office project is just one example of how our clients shape Houston’s skyline and contribute to the city’s growth. Being on-site allowed our team to witness the impact of the work our clients do every day, reinforcing why we are proud to support companies like Gallant who are shaping the future of our city.
As Houston continues to grow and evolve, West Mermis remains committed to serving the construction industry with the same focus, expertise, and dedication that have defined our firm. Site visits like this one not only strengthen our understanding of our clients’ projects but also inspire us to continue providing thoughtful, results-driven legal guidance.
We are honored to support Gallant Commercial and other clients who are building Houston’s future. Together, we are not just constructing buildings—we are contributing to the city’s economic growth, its business landscape, and its communities.
This visit was a reminder of why we do what we do: to stand alongside the companies and professionals building Houston’s tomorrow.
