Litigation

Overview

We offer experience, intelligence, and a practical sense to solve the most difficult challenges you face. Our trial lawyers include eight Fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers, former United States Supreme Court clerks, members of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers, former federal prosecutors and government agency officials, and dozens of former federal and state courts of appeal and district court clerks. With litigation attorneys licensed in key jurisdictions throughout the United States, we offer national counsel services, on-the-ground litigation support, and local court relationships. We align our approach to your goals and minimize business disruption. We value risk mitigation and litigation avoidance as critical elements of our strategy, but when litigation becomes unavoidable, we have an established track record of defeating claims at the pleading stage, at trial, and on appeal.
