Carrington Coleman's business litigation practice encompasses the full spectrum of commercial disputes including antitrust and trade regulation, aviation, banking and commercial finance, class actions, corporate governance and compliance, construction, fraud and deceptive trade practices, energy, environmental, health care and medical malpractice, insurance coverage, intellectual property, legal malpractice, non-compete and trade secret litigation, oil and gas litigation, product liability, professional liability, and real estate.

We represent a diverse range of large national and international companies, as well as numerous local and regional companies and individuals. We have tried many cases that yielded landmark decisions including, in recent years, those involving lender liability, tortious interference with contracts, accounting malpractice, a merger target’s lack of antitrust standing, and the scope of arbitration agreements. We also have extensive experience in alternative dispute resolution, including involvement in arbitration conducted before the American Arbitration Association, International Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Securities Dealers, and New York Stock Exchange.

We are proud that our extensive experience and success in the trial of complex business matters have been recognized. We have more trial lawyers listed as general business litigators in the book "The Best Lawyers in America" than any other firm in Dallas. Texas Monthly has named two-thirds of the firm’s litigation partners either “Super Lawyers” or “Texas Rising Stars”; Best Lawyers in America included eight firm litigation attorneys; and one firm litigator received national recognition as a “Client All-Star” by BTI Consulting.

Carrington Coleman's employment practice group specializes in working with employers on a wide variety of labor and employment-related issues. Our services range from comprehensive employment counseling to extensive litigation in federal and state courts. In addition, we regularly represent clients before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Texas Workforce Commission, the Texas Commission on Human Rights, as well as other federal and state agencies.

Our lawyers have significant experience handling a broad range of employment matters. We have defended claims brought under Title VII, Title IX, Section 1981, the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, ERISA, the Texas Workers' Compensation Act, the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and other statutory and common law causes of action.

While we are proud of our litigation prowess, we understand that avoiding litigation is the more important goal. Accordingly, we place a strong emphasis on helping our clients avoid litigation through counseling on personnel policies, benefit plans, facility closings, reductions in force, employment agreements, arbitration agreements, and the development of training programs for managers and employees. We also advise employers on day-to-day issues concerning investigations, discharge, discipline, employee accidents and injuries, medical and other leave, as well as a wide variety of other employment-related matters.

As an additional service, the employment practice group sends out periodic updates to its clients on important employment-related topics via email, and provides opportunities for clients to participate in informative telephone conferences regarding updates in this ever-changing field of law. Recent client updates have addressed new additions and changes to the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and the recent Executive Orders signed by President Obama concerning union and labor relations.
