Our lawyers handle commercial litigation of all sizes and any matter. Whether the case is a contract dispute, a class action or a regulatory issue, we are always mindful of the need for efficiency and budget certainty. Clients recognize the difference, noting in Chambers USA 2021 "they provide professional and clear communication on how to size options up and move cases ahead."
We recognize that needless discovery and scorched-earth tactics rarely achieve positive results. Instead, our approach is client-centered, creative, flexible and practical. Most litigation purposely never proceeds to trial, but when it does, our skilled and experienced trial teams have won numerous successful jury and bench verdicts for our clients. Additionally, our nationally recognized appellate team works closely with our trial lawyers to ensure a complete and proper record is preserved at trial in case an appeal is filed.
In high-stakes, complex business litigation, especially in the federal courts, we know the judges and opposing counsel, and they know us. About a quarter of our litigators have been judicial clerks, and many members of our team participate actively in – as well as lead – local, state and national bar groups and Inns of Court. We make sure we bring the right people to every case.
