The authors compute the derived length of solvable Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p\) with faithful irreducible representation of dimension \(p^n\). In particular, if \(L\) is such an algebra, then \(L^{(n+1+TR(L))}=0\) when \(TR(L)=\max \{\dim T,\;T\) a torus of \(L\}\) and \(TR(L)\) is shown to be less than or equal to \(n\). If \(L\) is nilpotent, then \(L^{(n+1)}=0\). A critical role is played by certain subalgebras of the Jacobson-Witt algebra, \(W(n,1)\).
