Litigation & Trials
We represent clients on both sides of high-stakes litigation, having led or co-led over 500 cases in federal, state, and appellate courts, including complex multidistrict litigation (MDL) and class actions. Trusted for trial-ready solutions, we are recognized by Chambers USA, The National Law Journal, and U.S. News & World Report.
Our attorneys, fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers and Litigation Counsel of America, have served as lead counsel in over 100 jury and bench trials, as well as in private arbitrations. We approach every case with trial readiness, ensuring cost-effective strategies and maximum leverage at every stage.
Strategic, Client-Focused Approach
We prioritize clients' business goals with innovative strategies. As plaintiffs' counsel, we've secured hundreds of millions in damages. As defense counsel, we've minimized claims worth billions, often winning on motions to dismiss.
Business-Driven Solutions
With our in-house experience, we offer valuable insights into both legal and business challenges. Our approach emphasizes delivering efficient, tailored services and fee structures that align with clients' financial and strategic objectives.
Industry Acumen
We counsel Fortune 500 companies, startups, and individuals across industries such as consumer products, financial services, insurance, healthcare, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, and technology.
We are prepared to lead our clients through their most complex and high-stakes commercial litigations, from headline-grabbing MDLs to single-plaintiff disputes.
Clients frequently engage us as lead counsel in bet-the-company cases, especially those involving intricate technical and economic issues or significant reputational risks. Our in-house experience and inquisitive approach enable us to deliver strategic and incisive legal counsel.
We advise on a wide range of commercial litigation matters, with extensive experience in business torts, contract disputes, corporate governance, fiduciary duties, labor and employment, securities regulation, and technology and data privacy disputes.
Combining scale and agility, we represent clients in company-defining class actions, including complex and intersecting cases. Our litigators employ a trial-ready strategy that aligns with clients’ business goals, emphasizing quick and cost-effective resolutions. We have a proven track record of defeating class certification early in litigation and achieving favorable outcomes in private arbitrations and settlement negotiations.
As coordinating counsel in cases with multiple defendants and jurisdictions, we excel in collaborating with co-counsel to develop and implement cohesive defense strategies.
We distinguish ourselves through our extensive experience in trying – and winning – cases. As lead counsel in over 100 jury and bench trials in the past decade, we understand what it takes to successfully argue cases in court. Our team includes fellows of the prestigious American College of Trial Lawyers and the Litigation Counsel of America, along with lawyers recognized as top litigators by leading legal directories.
We take a proactive approach to every dispute, treating each one as if it will go to trial. From day one, we leverage our deep trial experience to implement aggressive and cost-effective litigation strategies aimed at securing victory.
Our clients rely on us to thoroughly assess the exposure and risk associated with each dispute. With their reputations and bottom lines in mind, we are tenacious advocates, whether in court or in private arbitration.
We handle a wide range of commercial arbitrations across various industries, including cases involving major brand names and significant industry matters. From class actions alleging industrywide conspiracies to single-plaintiff disputes brought by high-profile individuals, we consistently achieve favorable results that resolve lengthy and costly litigation.
