Nick Fordice is a litigator who obtains favorable results for his clients across diverse practice areas and various procedural postures. He is a trusted legal thinker and strategist whose insights help his clients at any stage of litigation. Nick has experience joining cases with “bad facts” shortly before trial and implementing pre-trial motion strategies that reduce his client’s risk and transform high-exposure situations into favorable resolutions. Nick is also a valuable asset at the outset of any case, where he crafts and implements proactive, results-oriented legal strategies that begin before a lawsuit is even filed and extend through trial.
Nick’s practice is varied. He is equally adept at handling disputes involving corporate executives as he is handling technical, science-heavy product liability and tort matters. Nick has experience prosecuting and defending complex business disputes, including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and covenant-not-to-compete litigation. In addition to his business tort practice, he also has significant experience prosecuting and defending high-exposure product liability, wrongful death, and catastrophic personal injury claims. This experience spans industries and sectors, including healthcare, business franchising, legal professional liability, real estate investing, agricultural products, and consumer products.
Nick is also a skilled writer, with significant experience briefing complex legal issues at both the trial and appellate levels. Nick has drafted and won a variety of complex motions in state and federal courts, including dispositive motions, motions to exclude expert testimony, and pre-trial evidentiary motions. He also has drafted briefs filed with the Texas appellate courts, including the Texas Supreme Court.
Before joining Bradley’s Dallas office, Nick served as a law clerk for the Hon. T. Kent Wetherell II of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida. There, he helped to draft opinions on a range of complicated legal issues, including civil rights, labor law, intellectual property, and commercial contract disputes. Nick also supported Judge Wetherell as an appellate clerk when he sat by designation with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Before joining Bradley, Nick received his J.D. (magna cum laude) from Georgetown University Law Center. During law school, he appeared in the District of Columbia Superior Court as a student attorney for Georgetown’s Housing Advocacy and Litigation Clinic, and he served as executive editor for the American Criminal Law Review’s “Annual Survey of White Collar Crime.” Nick also holds a B.S. (summa cum laude) in business administration with a major in finance from Auburn University.
