Nichols Weitzner Thomas LLP Nabs Another BigLaw Veteran

Houston law firm Nichols Weitzner Thomas LLP (NWT) continues to grow rapidly and expand the services it can offer its clients.  Today it announced the hiring of litigation partner, Misha Paltiyevich, another BigLaw veteran.  Paltiyevich specializes in resolving claims resulting from marine and energy business disputes and casualties, construction defects, and transportation-related accidents.  He also has substantial experience defending major automobile and component-part manufacturers in products liability and consumer actions. 

          Paltiyevich said “I’m glad to be reunited with several of my former colleagues and friends.  I look forward to delivering top-notch legal services to my clients in a more personal boutique format.” 

NWT was founded by lawyers with experience in big law firms, academic medical centers, and corporate board rooms.  The firm represents its clients in complex matters including transactions, litigation, and compliance issues.  NWT opened its doors during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in the last 18 months has more than doubled in size.
