Dentons announced that J. Trumon Phillips joined the firm as a partner in its Litigation practice in the Miami office. He joins several of his former colleagues, who also recently made the move to Dentons, further strengthening the firm’s bench of experienced litigators and supporting the global insurance team. Plus, Phillips’ extensive experience in the courtroom and managing high-stakes commercial, insurance, and class action disputes will be an invaluable asset to clients facing complex, high-stakes litigation across industries.
Phillips also brings a wealth of experience representing national and multinational companies in high-stakes commercial and insurance disputes in state and federal courts. He specializes in developing and coordinating national and international litigation strategies for clients across various industries, such as financial services, automotive, energy, life sciences, and consumer products.
Phillips has a proven track record of guiding clients through all phases of litigation—from pre-litigation investigation and strategy to motion practice, trial, and appeal. Phillips’ ability to manage large-scale, multi-jurisdictional disputes prepares him to help clients mitigate risk and achieve successful outcomes in their most critical matters.
Trumon’s arrival follows a series of recent hires in Dentons’ US Litigation practice, such as partners McCormack, Deckman, Santoro, Seibert, Richard Hong and Peter Bekker in New York, James Newland in Washington, DC, and Jonathan Shulan in St. Louis, and counsels Buzzard in Orange County, Kate Douglas in St. Louis, Brett Grindrod in Washington, Lyndy Chang Stewart in Oakland and Kaitlin Wallace in Honolulu. And these additions reinforce the Firm’s commitment to expanding its capabilities and delivering exceptional service to clients navigating complex legal challenges.
