Practice Areas

Commercial Litigation | White Collar Defense and Investigations | Appellate and Constitutional Law

Paul focuses his practice on solving complex legal disputes and is a member of SouthBank Legal’s Chambers-ranked litigation team. Having appeared in hundreds of federal and state lawsuits, Paul is a seasoned litigator with experience in a wide range of complex cases, including multimillion-dollar tort cases, constitutional claims, trade secret and intellectual property theft disputes, complex contractual and warranty matters, defense of white-collar investigations, and litigation involving fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. He also advises business clients on warranty and sales-related legal issues, assists several banks on commercial collection matters, and is a leader of SouthBank Legal’s appellate practice. Paul clerked for four years at the federal trial and appellate levels and has taught commercial law at Notre Dame Law School for a decade.

Besides having extensive legal experience, Paul is easy to work with and is a good teammate. His ego-free approach has helped him successfully team up with corporate in-house counsel from Fortune 500 companies as well as with litigators from the top law firms in the country—like Williams & Connolly, Kirkland & Ellis, and Winston & Strawn, to name a few. Paul’s focus is not on burnishing his own resume but on helping the legal team best serve the client by meeting the client’s objectives.
