CWP Members (L to R): J. Chadwick Mask, Myles A. Parker, James L. Carroll, R. Douglas Morgan, Jim Warren.

CWP's approach to the litigation practice begins with the seasoned experience of its senior member, James L. Carroll. His 32 years of practice include time as a member in a large law firm where he concentrated on litigation. He gravitated toward complex litigation and insurance coverage work and, over time, developed an international practice in the area of insurance coverage disputes. In 1994, he founded the Jackson office of another Mississippi firm. Soon thereafter, he was joined in that venture by Jim Warren and Myles Parker, both of whom brought experience in a wide range of litigation including products liability, business disputes, and criminal litigation. Together, they visualized what a strategic planning, dispute resolution, and litigation firm could be and realized that if they wanted to practice in such a firm, they would have to create it. This conviction manifested itself in the establishment of CWP. They now have a firm that is the ideal size: large enough to tackle any case, yet small enough for the team concept to flourish. The attorneys have an understanding of the goals and needs of all the clients, and when the time comes to "ramp up" and litigate, the team is ready to move.

In short, CWP has achieved success beyond the expectations of its founding members. It is success made possible through the collective talents of firm members, associates, and support staff, all working in concert. By fostering a culture that rewards hard work and encourages involvement, CWP has taken the vision of its members to even greater heights.
