For Dylan Jones, winning has always been about strategy, preparation, and the will to push harder than anyone else. Before becoming a lawyer, Dylan was a competitive cyclist, racing around the United States, Europe, and the Caribbean. Through cycling, Dylan learned how to read the field, manage risk, plan every move, and deliver when it matters most—skills he now brings to the courtroom.
Dylan received his J.D. with honors from the University of Texas School of Law in 2017, where he was a member of the school’s interscholastic mock trial team and received the Nick C. Nichols Presidential Scholarship for Oral Advocacy. Dylan began his career at Cravath, Swaine & Moore, where he defended publicly traded companies and investment banks in high profile securities and antitrust cases. Always rooting for the underdog and drawn to the creative nature of plaintiff-side work, Dylan joined Reid Collins & Tsai in 2021 following a federal clerkship.
Focused on complex financial litigation, often in the insolvency or bankruptcy context, Dylan has been a key member of trial teams that have obtained approximately half a billion dollars for clients.
