Law Firm Overview

Jones Day's Dallas Office is one of two Jones Day offices in Texas. It opened as the fifth Jones Day office in 1981 and, with more than 170 lawyers, now ranks as one of the largest law offices in Dallas. The size and breadth of our Dallas practice enable us to provide a full range of services to clients served by Jones Day in Texas and throughout the world.

The Dallas Office has substantial capability in litigation (including intellectual property, commercial litigation, quasi criminal and criminal investigations, securities litigation/corporate governance, labor and employment, and toxic tort), corporate and real estate transactions, and federal and state taxation.

The office is fully integrated into the Dallas business and legal community and the Firm's seamless worldwide network of 2,400 lawyers in offices across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. We are ideally positioned to make the knowledge and experience of our lawyers and the facilities of our offices around the world available to serve the needs of our clients in Texas and elsewhere.

Jones Day Dallas takes pride in the ability to reach creative, thoughtful, and effective business and legal solutions for our clients and for the community in which we live.  Many of our lawyers have consistently been selected for inclusion in the directory of "America's Leading Lawyers for Business" of Chambers USA and the directory of Best Lawyers in America.  We are very much a part of the business, civic and professional communities in the metroplex.  Our lawyers use their skills and resources to become fully involved in finding effective solutions to global and local issues, working alongside, civic and international organizations. Our firm also has a long-standing tradition of philanthropy through our support of higher education institutions, civic and cultural agencies, and non-profit community organizations.  Most recently Jones Day Dallas was recognized as the Pro Bono Law Firm of the Year by The Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program, a joint alliance of the Dallas Bar Association and the Legal Aid of Northwest Texas.
