Jeremy A. Fielding, P.C.
Overview
Jeremy Fielding tries complex commercial cases. Over two decades, he has taken dozens of commercial cases to verdict or merits judgment in state and federal courts, arbitrations and other evidentiary proceedings across the country — including the case that produced what was then the largest civil judgment in Dallas County history, a multi-hundred-million-dollar jury verdict for Energy Transfer Partners. Chambers USA 2026 ranks him Band 1 in both General Commercial Litigation and Trial Lawyers in Texas, where one client called him “one of the top five trial lawyers in the state” and “one of the best I’ve ever seen in the courtroom.” Other clients described him to Chambers as “creative, persistent, and tenacious,” someone who “figures out very complex problems quickly” and is “very good in court and with jurors.”
Companies hire Jeremy for bet-the-company disputes spanning energy, corporate governance, fraud, fiduciary, executive compensation and product-defect matters, on both sides of the docket. His trial wins include a defense verdict clearing NextEra Energy’s $2 billion Horse Hollow Wind Facility of nuisance claims, a defense verdict in a $65 million product defect and fraud case involving the sale of multifamily project, a defense arbitration win in a $50M executive compensation dispute, a defense verdict in a $60 million personal injury case involving a refinery explosion and $30M plaintiff verdict in a purchase fraud case. The American Lawyer has featured several of his trial wins in its Litigator of the Week column and named him a 2022 “Trailblazer” for innovation in jury persuasion. Benchmark Litigation, Best Lawyers in America, Lawdragon, and Super Lawyers have also ranked him among the top trial lawyers in Texas and the country.
Jeremy also has extensive experience in the Texas Business Courts, having secured the first merits decision in the Texas business courts — a total defense victory in a $300 million investor dispute — and successfully defended clients in corporate governance disputes.
