The Tyson & Mendes Difference
We lead the industry with innovative, forward-thinking litigation strategies that drive exceptional results for our clients. From our Core Four trial strategies—accepting responsibility, personalizing the defendant, giving a number, and arguing pain and suffering—to our deep commitment to education and thought leadership, we intentionally invest in our people and our practice. Central to that investment is The Apex, our data-driven litigation and trial strategy built on decades of courtroom experience and real trial outcomes, designed to stop unjust Nuclear Verdicts® and provide a unified approach to defending high-exposure cases. Together, these pillars empower our teams to thrive, deliver excellence, and pursue justice with purpose.
A Day in The Life
“The stability of a big law firm with the feel of a small firm. It has given me the best of both worlds as I have access to incredible resources and feel safe in my job, but I have also gotten to work on things that many of my peers won’t for years after law school.”
“I feel valued and respected in this inclusive workplace. It's amazing to collaborate with colleagues from different backgrounds.”
“This firm chooses to operate differently than the average run-of-the mill law firm; It is willing to address questions from its employees about how the firm operates, as well as ideas about ways to improve firm operations.”
“For me it’s the methods that I love about being with Tyson & Mendes, specifically bringing and leading with my humanity and empathy.”
“Flexibility, strong tech, and diverse perspectives. The firm’s culture helps me see different viewpoints, refine my own, and stay engaged. Who knew insurance defense could be so interesting!”
“I love TM because, as a new mom and new attorney, I have flexibility and incredible support. My leads and mentors guide me, the training is excellent, and TM helps me grow my skills and be the best defense attorney I can be.”
