Watson & Jones, P.A. is a general practice law firm located in Jackson, Mississippi. The firm's five attorneys, with backgrounds ranging from sole practitioner to large firm partner, share a commitment to the idea that bigger is not necessarily better; that a relatively small group of talented and experienced lawyers can provide sophisticated clients with a superior level of service and legal expertise on par with that available from much larger firms. While our practice is as varied as our clients' needs, our primary emphasis is on complex commercial and insurance defense litigation and business transactions. Our litigators handle a wide variety of trial work in all state and federal courts in the State of Mississippi. Our business lawyers, in addition to serving as general counsel to one of Mississippi's largest privately held companies, have represented our clients in a wide variety of complex mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, and commercial real estate transactions throughout the United States. In order to compete successfully in today's highly competitive legal marketplace, lawyers must maximize efficiency and have access to the most current resources available in their respective practice areas. Through investing in cutting edge technology, we are able to provide our lawyers with the practice management tools and legal research and information capabilities necessary to accomplish these objectives. We are firmly committed to the belief that a young lawyer's education and training should not be limited to long hours in the library. Accordingly, we make every effort to make new attorneys a valuable part of the team, encouraging active and substantive involvement in cases and transactions as quickly as possible. In addition to the role of advocate and legal counselor, we believe every lawyer should contribute in other ways to the community in which he or she resides. Our attorneys are active in a wide variety of civic, charitable and religious organizations, and are committed to encouraging and enabling our new lawyers to develop their own commitments in these areas. | | Firm Size: 5 | Representative Clients:
