Paul Yetter’s practice covers a range of commercial disputes, focused on antitrust/securities, intellectual property, and contract/business torts. Representing plaintiffs as often as defendants, he has clients in the energy, technology, finance, and aviation industries. He has prosecuted and defended cases and arbitrations as lead counsel across the country — from New York City to Chattanooga, Sacramento to Mobile, Muskogee to Atlanta, Phoenix to Little Rock, Santa Barbara to Wilmington, Miami to rural Ohio and Nevada. He has tried to verdict three class actions in recent years, as well as handled appeals in many federal and state courts. He is fortunate to work often with and against respected litigators from large corporate firms and boutiques alike.

Paul most enjoys building case strategy and leading trials. Whether involved early or brought in late, as clients often ask his firm to do, he works to find winning approaches to tough cases. In recent years, he has led trial teams that have defeated eleven 9- or 10-figure damages suits against the firm’s defense clients. He also has directed teams that won seven 9-figure verdicts or settlements for our plaintiff clients. His firm’s trademark approach is to simplify complex disputes into powerful trial stories and tailor presentations to best educate the decision-maker, whether a jury, judge, or arbitrator. In an age of fewer trials, his firm is regularly in trial in state and federal courts. This allows his teams to continually perfect their creative, strategic, and seamless approach to trial advocacy.

Outside of court, Paul serves as chair of statewide groups that promote the funding, education, and resources of the state judiciary. He is honored to be a member of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, the International Society of Barristers, and the American Board of Trial Advocates. He and his wife Patti have seven grown sons.
