Jeremy Fielding
Position
Jeremy Fielding is a litigation partner in Kirkland’s Dallas office. He is an experienced trial lawyer, having tried dozens of complex commercial cases in state and federal courts, arbitrations, and other evidentiary proceedings across the country. Known for his creativity, relentlessness and extraordinary ability to connect with and persuade a jury, Jeremy has been recognized as one of the top trial lawyers in America and Texas by Chambers & Partners, Super Lawyers, Benchmark Litigation, Best Lawyers in America, Lawdragon and D Magazine. For his innovative approach to jury persuasion, the American Lawyer named him one of their 2022 “Trailblazers.” And Lawdragon selected him as one of its 500 Leading U.S. Energy Lawyers. According to Chambers 2023, clients describe Jeremy as “a phenomenal trial lawyer and counselor” with “a great courtroom presence” and who is “smart and quick and can pick up a complex case in the middle without missing a beat.”
A versatile trial lawyer, Jeremy has successfully represented plaintiffs and defendants in complex, bet-the-company commercial disputes, ranging from complex business and energy litigation to antitrust and product defect matters. He has obtained numerous multimillion-dollar jury verdicts and settlements for plaintiff clients, including a multi-hundred-million-dollar jury verdict in 2014, one of the largest verdicts in the U.S. that year. Several of his trial wins have been highlighted by the American Lawyer in its litigator Wins of the Week column.
Jeremy also has a First Amendment practice, representing companies in challenging commercial marketing regulations and restrictions on free speech grounds. Jeremy has won these cases at both the trial and appellate level, resulting in the invalidation of dozens of such regulations and restrictions across the country. For his pioneering work in this area, the National Law Journal recognized Jeremy as a First Amendment Trailblazer.
