Watkins & Eager’s roots might be in a traditionally plaintiff-friendly jurisdiction, but the 73-attorney shop has made a big name for itself defending large companies beyond Mississippi’s borders.
With 47 partners, the 114-year-old firm in Jackson focuses on mass tort and commercial litigation with a roster of clients that includes energy giants Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp., Sunoco Inc. and ConocoPhillips, in addition to other big-name clients such as General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co., Bayer Corp., Toyota Motor Sales USA Inc. and R.J.
