Wayne Mason

Practice Areas

Wayne Mason is the quintessential trial lawyer who knows how to deliver solutions for your business needs, from legal matters to thoughtful counsel on a range of issues that contribute to the results you care about. This lawyer is different — this trial lawyer delivers peace of mind through innovation and efficiency so you can focus on your bottom line and business objectives.

Wayne has tried cases from coast to coast. However, well aware that only a small percentage of cases are actually tried, the value Wayne adds in litigation goes well beyond trial work, and his clients appreciate his instinct for a solid win. He has saved clients huge sums of money not only by obtaining defense verdicts but also by having the unique ability to evaluate risk based on more than 39 years of looking jurors in the eye. A testament to his success trying a diverse array of complex matters, Wayne has been admitted to try cases pro hac vice in over 30 states.

Wayne’s prowess rests on his “Three I’s” foundation — Integrity, Intelligence (IQ & EQ), Intensity — qualities rarely found in one person. A master of the power of narrative in litigation, his story-based approach to presenting information entertains, instructs and, most importantly, persuades his audiences.

A firm believer in the value that different perspectives bring to the table, Wayne makes a conscious and deliberate effort to engage and collaborate with colleagues from diverse backgrounds on client matters. Wayne is also passionate about helping the next generation of lawyers reach their full potential. He is committed to mentoring diverse lawyers within the firm as evidenced by his engagement in a two-year Faegre Drinker sponsorship of a protégé from an underrepresented group, in which the two work together and meet regularly to facilitate the young lawyer’s path to success.

In Wayne, clients find the trial lawyer they want when they need a steady hand on the tiller. His exceptional communication skills and “cut-to-the-chase” style give him a clear edge when dealing with the media and protecting his clients’ reputation and corporate brand. A quick study, regardless of the subject matter, Wayne makes the complex clear and simple for any audience.

Wayne is recognized for his advocacy gifts by, among others, Chambers USA, Benchmark Litigation (Litigation Star), Lawdragon 500, Litigation Counsel of America, American Board of Trial Advocates and Best Lawyers in America. He is listed by Chamber USA as one of only 27 of the top trial lawyers in Texas. A client described him as “Wayne is a great lawyer. He’s responsive and puts together the right team for the need.” (Chambers USA — Texas, Trial Lawyers, 2022) Another client described him saying, “Wayne is a multidimensional strategist who balances litigation needs and risks with a settlement strategy. He spends time so that he can understand very complicated issues and is then able to explain them to a judge and jury in a very simple, straightforward way.” (Chambers USA — Texas, Litigation: General Commercial, 2020).
