Brent Perry

The recipient of numerous prestigious awards for his commercial litigation practice, Brent Perry draws on 30 years of experience representing clients in various business litigation and appellate matters. Bringing both a cordial, professional approach and zealous, determined advocacy skills, Brent helps resolve complex issues in securities, contracts, insurance, fiduciary, and other litigation. He also handles ownership and governance matters. His clients operate in the construction, health care, real estate, oil and gas industries, among many others. As Brent says, “I’m in the business of helping entrepreneurs.” 

Brent, who has been Board Certified in Civil Trial Law, by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 2010, has earned a reputation across Texas and beyond for his ability to fully understand both the big-picture issues and the nuanced details of a case, strategically harness the relevant information, and craft and deliver a persuasive narrative to advance his clients’ interests. He collaborates closely with clients, keeping them fully informed during every stage of the litigation process.

Knowing how to marshal the facts and documents that make or break a claim or defense, Brent has secured many multimillion-dollar settlements and verdicts for plaintiffs and successfully defended significant claims against his clients. His experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants helps Brent anticipate and prepare for opposing counsel’s strategic moves before they make them, strengthening his advocacy for clients. 

Brent has handled appeals before more than half the appellate courts in Texas, the Texas Supreme Court, and two federal appellate courts. He understands that successful appeals begin with knowing and applying the law in the trial court. 

Before co-founding Burford Perry in 2015 with longtime friend Robert R. Burford, Brent served clients’ litigation needs in both large and small law firms. In these partnerships, he tried significant business disputes while developing a complementary appellate practice.
