WHO WE ARE

Nick Nelson - Partner

Nick Nelson combines fifteen years of commercial litigation experience with practical business sense. Nick understands that every dispute - and every big decision along the way - is a cost-benefit assessment that takes into account the needs, goals, and resources of the client. Whether that means seeking an early resolution or fighting for a must-have result, Nick believes a successful outcome requires mutual trust and clear communication between counsel and client, and a deep understanding of the facts and the law.

Based in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Nick has served as first and second chair in trials and arbitrations around the country. He was previously a litigation partner at Wick Phillips Gould & Martin, LLP and a senior litigation associate at Haynes and Boone, LLP. Nick also served as in-house counsel for the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. He has represented companies and individuals in a variety of complex disputes in many industries. He has been recognized as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers in multiple years.

Nick obtained his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law. Before law school, he received his BA in Communications (Print Journalism Emphasis) from Brigham Young University and worked as an investigative reporter. He speaks fluent Spanish and has traveled extensively in Latin America. He is licensed to practice in Texas.
