Wood Smith Henning & Berman announced that Clint Raney has joined the firm as Partner in the Houston office, bringing more than two decades of litigation experience and a proven track record of success as a first chair trial lawyer in complex, statewide matters.
A seasoned legal professional known for discipline preparation and practical problem solving, Clint has successfully defended clients in high stakes disputes involving commercial and residential construction defect, premises liability, real property claims, motor vehicle accidents, commercial trucking accidents, and personal injury defense. His approach combines efficient litigation management with targeted legal research and innovative legal strategies, all grounded in clear communication and a results driven commitment to client goals.
Before entering private practice, Clint served as a Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force, earning recognition for decorated service and receiving an honorable discharge. He brings that same focus, integrity, and work ethic to his litigation practice and client service.
"Clint is exactly the kind of lawyer clients rely on when the stakes are high and the margin for error is low," said Spencer Dunn, Managing Partner of the Houston office. "He is a proven litigator with the judgment, efficiency, and strategic discipline that strengthen our defense teams and reinforce our commitment to exceptional client outcomes."
Clint will focus his practice on complex civil litigation, supporting the firm's growth across Texas and beyond while continuing to deliver pragmatic defense strategies for companies, insurers, and business clients facing challenging claims.
"I'm excited to join WSHB and contribute to a team that values preparation, collaboration, and results," commented Clint. "I take pride in building trust through communication and delivering efficient, strategic representation. I look forward to helping our clients navigate risk, protect their interests, and achieve their goals."
With Clint joining the Houston office, WSHB continues to expand its bench of experienced litigators and trial lawyers dedicated to defending clients in high exposure matters with precision and responsiveness.
