Ted Bennett has been inducted as a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, one of the premier legal associations in America.  The Induction ceremony took place last week at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the College in Nashville, Tennessee.

Founded in 1950, the College is composed of preeminent members of the Trial Bar from the United States and Canada and is recognized as the leading trial lawyers organization in both countries.  Fellowship in the College is extended only by invitation, after careful investigation, to those experienced trial lawyers who have mastered the art of advocacy and whose professional careers have been marked by the highest standards of ethical conduct, professionalism, civility, and collegiality.  Lawyers must have a minimum of 15 years trial experience before they can be considered for Fellowship.  Membership can never be more than 1% of the total lawyer population of any state or province.

Ted serves as co-chair of Williams & Connolly’s Complex Commercial Litigation practice group.  His practice focuses on trial work and civil litigation, principally in matters relating to commercial disputes, corporate governance, banking and financial services, antitrust and trade practices, patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property.  In recent years, Ted has been lead trial counsel in civil and criminal jury trials and arbitrations, and has represented national banks, major accounting firms, Fortune 50 companies, multinational chemical and technology companies, and individuals in federal and state courts across the country, in arbitrations, and in CFPB, SEC, and other government investigations.  

Ted joins the ranks of distinguished Williams & Connolly colleagues who are also Fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers, including  Bill McDaniels, Brendan Sullivan, John Buckley, Bruce Genderson, Stephen Urbanczyk, Steve Raber, Heidi Hubbard, Dane Butswinkas, and Robert Cary.
