Former Assistant United States Attorney Rejoins Thompson & Knight's Trial Practice

The international law firm of Thompson & Knight LLP has announced that Jason Davis has rejoined the Firm as a Trial Partner in the Austin office. Davis returns after running his own private practice in San Antonio and serving as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Western and Southern Districts of Texas.

Davis now specializes in representing individuals and businesses in civil and criminal government investigations, white collar criminal defense, regulatory and administrative proceedings, forfeiture, and grand jury compliance. He also represents individuals, financial institutions, and other business entities in a wide variety of commercial and fraud-related disputes. Davis will lead Thompson & Knight’s White Collar Crime Practice Specialty Group.

“We are excited about Jason rejoining the Firm. The breadth of his experience in both the public and private sectors is invaluable. He’s a seasoned trial attorney and his white collar criminal litigation experience gives our Trial practice a new dimension,” says William L. Banowsky, Trial Practice Leader at Thompson & Knight.

From 1996 to 1998, Davis was an Associate at Thompson & Knight in the Trial Practice Group. He received his law degree, with honors, from The University of Texas School of Law in 1995, and his undergraduate degree, with honors, in Political Science from Trinity University in 1992. Licensed in Texas and Florida, he is also an active member of the American Bar Association and San Antonio Bar Association. Davis is a Barrister for the William S. Sessions American Inn of Court and a Fellow of the Texas State Bar Foundation.

While a federal prosecutor, Davis was selected to train other prosecutors in complex trial organization and advocacy skills, including the innovative use of trial technology. Davis received numerous awards and honors, including Prosecutor of the Year for the State of Texas in 2001-2002.
