Akerman Continues Dallas Expansion with Litigator Bryce Benson

Akerman LLP, a top 100 U.S. law firm serving clients across the Americas, has further expanded its Dallas office with securities and commercial litigation partner Bryce Benson in the Litigation Practice Group. He joins Akerman’s national bench of trial lawyers and enhances the firm’s core strengths in the financial services sector.

“Bryce is an experienced litigator, whose strong financial sector focus extends Akerman’s capabilities in complex disputes at the federal and state level,” said Lawrence Rochefort, Litigation Practice Group Chair. “His practice enhances our ability to serve clients with securities and commercial litigation needs and adds important depth to our team in Dallas and nationally.”

Benson’s practice focuses on securities litigation, including the representation of broker-dealers in Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitrations, regulatory investigations and enforcement proceedings. He also has substantial experience litigating complex commercial cases and business disputes, including cases involving claims for breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, negligent misrepresentation, and other business torts in state court, federal court and in arbitration proceedings. Benson represents Fortune 500 corporations, mid-size companies and individuals in a variety of industries, including financial services, energy, health care, technology and manufacturing.

Benson joins Akerman’s Dallas office after the team recently welcomed bankruptcy and restructuring partners John Mitchell and David Parham.
