Trial Lawyer Monica Latin Becomes Managing Partner of Dallas’ Carrington Coleman 

First woman in firm’s leading role intends to continue representing clients, trying cases 

Dallas-based business law firm Carrington, Coleman, Sloman & Blumenthal has named trial lawyer Monica W. Latin as Managing Partner, effective May 1.

Latin, who has been practicing at the firm for more than half of Carrington Coleman’s 50-year history, succeeds Bruce Collins who has held the position since 2013. She was named Managing Partner-elect in May 2019, is a member of the firm’s executive committee, and has served for many years as chair of the firm’s Business Litigation Practice Group.

In her long tenure at the firm, Latin has worked closely with some of its most storied figures, including founding partner Jim Coleman, who died in February 2020, and Chief U.S. District Court Judge Barbara M.G. Lynn of the Northern District of Texas, who was Ms. Latin’s first supervising partner. 

Latin intends to maintain her active trial and appellate practice and will continue representing clients on a regular basis. As the first woman in Carrington Coleman’s top leadership role, she credits the firm’s namesake for the opportunity.
