The firm employs 51–100 staff including approximately 20 attorneys plus an in-house investigative team, and maintains its own appellate practice—an uncommon capability among plaintiff firms of similar size.

The firm offers 13 documented practice areas spanning personal injury (car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, rideshare, and industrial accidents), catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, medical malpractice, product liability, construction defects, maritime accidents (including Jones Act and Admiralty claims), oil and gas litigation, environmental litigation, business litigation, and complex litigation including class actions, securities fraud, antitrust, and consumer fraud. Representative outcomes include the $11.9 billion verdict against ExxonMobil for the State of Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, $12.1 billion in Deepwater Horizon litigation, $1 billion+ for Masonite siding homeowners, $226 million for HealthSouth bondholders against UBS and Ernst Young, $192 million in an intellectual property verdict, $149.9 million for Singing River Health System pension beneficiaries, and $50 million in a trucking product liability verdict.

Cunningham Bounds operates on a contingency-fee model typical of plaintiff personal injury practice, with free initial consultations and a national intake line (844-417-0930) plus a bilingual Spanish line (844-395-0062). Revenue is generated by taking a percentage of settlements or verdicts; specific fee percentages are not publicly disclosed. The firm markets through its website, content marketing (blogs, publications, reported decisions), community sponsorships (including the Downtown Cajun Cook-Off benefiting the Child Advocacy Center of Mobile), and referral networks from past clients and co-counsel firms such as Reeves & Mestayer, LLC. It holds Tier 1 rankings from Best Lawyers in Mobile across Personal Injury, Product Liability, Construction, Bet-the-Company, Commercial, Banking & Finance Litigation, and Appellate Practice, and Band 1 (highest) ranking from Chambers USA in Litigation: Mainly Plaintiffs. Multiple attorneys hold memberships in invitation-only organizations including the American Board of Trial Advocates, International Academy of Trial Lawyers, Litigation Counsel of America, and the International Society of Barristers.
