Davis Metzger is a trial lawyer who has handled cases from the initial complaint all the way to verdict. Comfortable in the courtroom, Davis was a central trial team member in a 2026 trade secret misappropriation and breach of fiduciary duty case in which the plaintiffs sought over $200 million in damages against AZA’s client. During trial, Davis directed the examination of a named defendant and argued key motions. At the end of that month-long trial, the jury found for AZA’s client on all counts and awarded the plaintiff nothing. (CAM Industrial Solutions, LLC v. Brown & Root Industrial Services, LLC et al.).

In 2025 Davis was also a key trial team member in an energy and accounting dispute that zeroed out the counter-plaintiff on its $33 million claim against AZA’s client and then recovered nearly $6 million for the client in the same trial. Davis delivered the opening statement to the jury at trial. (Breitburn Operating et al. v. XTO Energy).
As second-year associate, Davis has already had speaking roles in three jury trials ranging in amount in controversy from $15 million to $200+ million. He has taken the depositions of key witnesses and drafted and argued countless motions.
