Scottsdale, AZ commercial litigation attorney Daryl Williams discusses the types of cases his firm handles. He explains that when I entered law school, my perception of lawyers was largely shaped by watching Perry Mason in the 1950s. As someone with an economics background and a degree in econometric theory, I struggled to explain to my wife what economists actually did. It was at that time that Brigham Young University established a new law school, and my wife convinced me to join the charter class. Thus, I embarked on a legal career.

Given my economics background, I naturally gravitated towards business law. I had previously authored a workbook on microeconomics used in BYU’s MBA program. Since the start of my practice, my focus has been on business and commercial cases. These often involve experts such as economists and accountants, and I find great satisfaction in these complex matters. I am well-versed in the disciplines of economics and accounting, allowing me to effectively cross-examine witnesses and uncover any inconsistencies.

In commercial cases, particularly those dealing with future profits or damages, I employ calculations such as net present value discounts to ensure accuracy. I also leverage my knowledge of geometric means, which provide more precise results than arithmetic means. This attention to detail helps me build strong cases.

Apart from my work in commercial law, I have a keen interest in aviation. As a commercially rated pilot with my own airplane, I have flown extensively throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Incorporating aviation into my practice has been beneficial, as it allows for cost-effective and secure travel to various locations. Moreover, my deep understanding of the federal air regulations gives me an advantage over other lawyers who are unfamiliar with the intricate rules and regulations governing the aviation industry.

Thus, my legal practice primarily revolves around commercial cases and aviation matters, drawing upon my expertise in economics, accounting, and aviation regulations. These two areas of law fuel my passion and provide diverse and challenging opportunities in my career.
