Philip Hymanson and Hank Hymanson, a father-and-son team, have made their names in this work, with Philip being recognized in Acquisition International’s Leading Adviser 2019 as Leading Bet-the-Company Litigation Attorney of the Year, Nevada. We caught up with the firm to find out more. ettlements have become commonplace within the legal industry. Many cases don’t progress to the trial stage, with mitigation and compensation the order of the day. At Hymanson & Hymanson, however, the ideal resolution can be sought at the highest level. Philip and Hank have enough combined experience to be a formidable challenge in a wide range of situations where everything is on the line. Philip began his career as a prosecutor, where he was able to litigate in many multi-defendant, high profile crimes. He began his civil practice in Las Vegas, with his success allowing him to become President and Litigation Chair of the oldest incorporated law firm in Nevada. He then joined an international law firm, becoming involved in some extensive trial work that saw two back-to-back trials that lasted nine months. After ten years of successful trials and business, he resigned to try a case with his son. The two have since combined their powers in another successful venture. Many of the cases which Philip and Hank have been involved in are highly complex, covering areas such as commercial litigation, product liability litigation, investigations, personal injury, healthcare, transportation, sports and entertainment industry and construction litigation. They have achieved great success in all of these areas, including a $3.46 million jury verdict and $4 million in punitive damages for a fourth generation Nevada family in a real estate and fraud litigation. The clients that the Hymanson & Hymanson duo take on range from individuals to large corporations. Each is treated with equal time and respect to ensure everybody is satisfied. For large corporations, Philip and Hank’s expertise has saved them time and time again. They have represented the largest generic drug manufacturer in the world, in several thousand product liability actions, with liabilities were in excess of a billion dollars. The final result, after nine months of trial, was settlement or dismissal of all cases. Similarly, the team were able to represent an international crane company in a products liability case. Philip and Hank were able to produce a win, five weeks after the engagement. In all of these cases, the companies could have been destroyed by the results, but Philip and Hank kept them all operating. Philip’s considerable experience has granted him admission to a wide range of different courts, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California and the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. His ability to work across different regions and courts is to his credit, emphasising what significant benefits clients are able to access when using his services. A recent development for the firm has been the addition of Hymanson Trial Solutions. This branch of the business has been designed as a S vehicle to teach, consult, and mediate cases. Bringing his thirty years of litigation experience to bear, with over 130 jury trials, Philip offers advice that can transform how a case is handled. Understanding the perspective of a trial lawyer can bring an entirely different insight that is unlike most settlement conferences.

The work of Hymanson & Hymanson is incredibly important, bringing together two top-tier lawyers. Businesses have been saved by their efforts, trials have been won and justice has been found.
