A law firm should be judged not only by the cases it wins, but also by the litigation it avoids. Our litigation attorneys have attained hard-earned reputations for winning crucial business verdicts. Equally important is that our trial attorneys often are engaged in the design of risk management and case resolution strategies, where their trial talents are never seen and lawsuits never arise. We understand the commercial value of early assessment, aggressive litigation prosecutions and litigation avoidance.

Our clients hire us for crucial and complex litigation because of our proven ability to understand issues, position cases for maximum trial advantage, clearly communicate concepts and persuasively present the facts and argue the law. We draw upon the experiences and talents of exceptional litigators in complex areas of the law, including tax, antitrust, creditors’ rights and bankruptcy, class actions, corporate governance, securities, intellectual property, trade regulation, white collar crime, criminal sentencing guidelines and insurance.

Litigation strategies and creative litigation solutions result from our attorneys understanding our clients’ operating and regulatory challenges and applying their substantive knowledge of regulations, procedures and laws. Our experiences in industry sectors such as energy and public utility, education, healthcare, securities, insurance, manufacturing, distribution and construction enable us to quickly assess regulatory and operating litigation exposure and to formulate solutions to crucial business challenges.
