SAN DIEGO (June 14, 2024) – National insurance defense and civil litigation firm Tyson & Mendes LLP has named partner Ashley Paige Fetyko its new head of communications. In her new role, Fetyko leads a team of attorneys, marketing, and design professionals in firmwide internal and external communications and educational initiatives.

Fetyko’s work focuses on public relations, marketing, client relations and education. She leads the creation and delivery of educational content for national audiences as well as the development and oversight of legal marketing content for the firm. Fetyko was named partner last month, and previously served all offices across the firm as senior counsel and communications director.

Fetyko is also integral to the development of strategic managing partner Bob Tyson’s second book, the sequel to Nuclear Verdicts: Defending Justice for All, due out later this year. Additionally, she frequently hosts webinars and presentations for the firm drawing large audiences of claims professionals and their counsel.

Fetyko travels across the country to deliver engaging courses on the firm’s proven Nuclear Verdicts® Defense Methods, furthering the firm’s reach and increasing its profile.

In 2023, Fetyko oversaw development of the curriculum for the firm’s new Attorneys in Residence program to bridge the gap between law school and practice for junior attorneys. She serves as faculty for the Tyson & Mendes Trial Academy, an eight-week intensive course that prepares the firm’s trial attorneys for the courtroom. She also develops curriculum and serves as faculty for the Nuclear Verdicts® Defense Institute, the only advanced trial academy for the defense, that teaches the firm’s methods to defense attorneys from other firms, as well as carriers. Fetyko also developed a brand-new consulting arm of the firm, offering services to insurance carriers on high-exposure cases and files.
