Strathmore's Roundtable Biography for
T. Wade Welch
 | T. Wade Welch |
| Biography | For the first six years of my career, I represented lending institutions, insurance companies, government entities and numerous mid-sized business in different industries. That variety gave me a general understanding of business and the litigation process. In 1992, I took that general experience to the next level and began representing DISH Network Corporation in the rapidly changing, highly competitive and litigious subscription television industry. As DISH grew from a fledgling upstart to a Fortune 200 industry leader, not only did I sharpen my business acumen but I served as lead counsel in virtually all of DISH's high profile litigation matters, including its $5 billion lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation arising out a failed merger, as well as its multi-million dollar antitrust lawsuit against satellite rival DirecTV, which ultimately resulted in DISH's $26 billion merger bid for the rival company. I also gained invaluable experience in numerous complex nationwide litigation matters against other Fortune 500 companies involving trademarks, copyrights, breaches of contract, intricate statutory claims and various business torts with nine figure amounts in controversy. As national counsel, we have litigated in virtually all fifty states. In addition to representing DISH for 18 years, the firm capitalized on its litigation and business experience by expanding into other industries. Our sizeable clients include a worldwide leader in agriculture, nationwide trucking and telecommunications providers, medical products manufacturers and environmental remediation companies to name a few. This broad spectrum of representation gives us the ability to offer comprehensive business solutions to our clients. Our success in these matters led to the firm being named as a Fortune 500 Go-To Law Firm for the past five years. |
