Jeanne Marie Lee

Of Counsel

Jeannie believes that a good reputation is key to a successful outcome for her clients, and she takes great pride in her ability to establish rapport and build strong, professional relationships with clients, adversaries and colleagues alike. This ability to connect on a personal level while maintaining a sharp focus on legal strategy ensures that her clients receive comprehensive, personalized attention and effective legal representation. She is also known for her high energy level and clear communication style, all while balancing the complexities of the law with the practical needs of her clients. Whether negotiating a settlement or advocating her client’s position in court, her approach to litigation is to find and employ every means to reduce client exposure along the way. She is often recognized by clients, opposing counsel, and mediators for her pragmatic approach, creative solutions to difficult issues, and strong relationships, all which facilitate effective conflict resolution and make her a dynamic advocate for her clients.

Prior to joining GRSM, Jeannie’s practice involved defending individuals and businesses in variety of matters involving real estate and real property, premises liability, contract disputes, and personal injury matters. She also advised corporations, insurance companies and municipalities in all aspects of Workers’ Compensation and asbestos litigation.

With a decade and half of litigation experience, Jeannie has joined the Environmental & Toxic Tort and Product Liability Practice Groups at Gordon Rees, representing corporations and other entities on a wide range of issues and exposure matters. Whether working with companies, individuals, or other stakeholders, Jeannie brings both a collaborative spirit and fierce advocacy to every case.

When she is not litigating, Jeannie is staying active, watching and attending sporting events, and wrangling her three children alongside her husband. She is a California native, but she and her family now reside in Austin, Texas.
