P. Jason Collins joined Diamond McCarthy in 2003. Jason is a trial attorney and a Certified Public Accountant who handles all types of complex commercial litigation with a special emphasis on financial fraud cases, insolvency disputes, international litigation, and business disputes.

Jason's representations include:

• Lead Associate in successful representation of a bankruptcy trustee and a group of 1,100 Latin American investor/creditors in suits brought against Deloitte in the U.S. Federal Court for the Western District of Texas arising out of the financial collapse of Inverworld, a cross-border investment company. The resulting settlement exceeded $26 million (the case was handled on a mixed hourly and contingent basis for fees of approximately $6 million).
  
  
• Co-lead attorney in the successful contingent-fee representation of a local businessman in a commercial insurance coverage dispute. A Travis County jury issued a $6 million jury verdict for Jason's client following a ten-day jury trial wherein Jason gave the opening statement and handled significant direct and cross-examination. Jason's client eventually settled the case for $2.5 million (of this amount, Diamond McCarthy received a 40% contingency fee).
  
  
• Lead Associate in successful representation of a publicly traded company sued for approximately $30 million in the U.S. Federal Court for the Central District of California, based on allegations of breach of contract and unfair competition in connection with failed negotiations for a multi-million dollar acquisition. The Court granted summary judgment in favor of Jason's client and dismissed all of the plaintiff's claims for lost profits and expectation damages.
