Nicholas A. Ocampo is an Associate in the Houston office of GRSM. He is a member of the Commercial Litigation and Construction groups. Prior to joining GRSM, he began his legal career representing clients in the maritime and admiralty industries with a focus on insurance defense and worker’s compensation defense under the Longshore and Harbor Worker’s Act and Defense Base Act. Nicholas then went on to focus on real estate, construction, and commercial litigation. With a strong commitment to client advocacy, he has litigated complex disputes in both state and federal courts. He has successfully represented a diverse range of clients, including construction companies, property owners, contractors, developers, and business entities.
He believes that providing the best legal protection is understanding the client and the client’s needs by listening and communicating effectively. It’s something he learned right out of college while working in the South Texas oilfields selling pipeline equipment and then went on to master in law school where he placed first in the Thomas Jefferson School of Law National Sports Law Negotiation Competition. Now, as a licensed attorney, he uses the same skills and common sense he gained early on to serve his clients in his work in commercial litigation. Nicholas believes that each case presents a different intellectual challenge and that it may take some creativity to uncover the best possible solution for his clients. He enjoys the process of breaking down the law from all angles to find the answer that will bring the best outcome to his clients.
Born and raised in and around Houston, Nicholas is passionate about his Astros, Texans, and Rockets. When not attending World Series parades, he spends time in the outdoors hunting, fishing, or out for a nice round of golf.
