Litigation

  •  

When you hire us to handle a case, your problems and objectives become ours.

Overview

Our litigators combine quality and client focus to minimize litigation stress and uncertainty, while maximizing our clients’ ability to achieve their litigation goals. We staff cases leanly, with skilled attorneys who know your case, your business, your industry, and your long-term aims.

Solving Problems the Right Way

Every litigator claims to solve problems - but we solve them the right way. We help clients identify potential disputes before they ripen into open conflict; avoid litigation through active mitigation strategies; manage litigation the way clients manage their business; and resolve cases to meet client expectations. That’s why our client base includes respected companies across the country that have turned to us for decades when they need advice, counsel, and courtroom representation.

We combine technical excellence with industry focus. Although we’re nationally known for our work with technology, healthcare, media, entertainment, communications, and financial services clients, our litigators have handled cases for businesses in every sector of the economy. Our broad perspective helps us find innovative ways to solve seemingly intractable conflicts. We have extensive experience in high-stakes litigation involving antitrust, securities, and consumer class action issues. And we have a track record of working well with those insurers most frequently involved in large-scale litigation.

Making Litigation More Bearable

Litigation is fraught with uncertainty. But we work hard to make litigation more predictable, to manage the inevitable stress of the process, and to avoid unexpected surprises.

It's About You

We work closely with you to figure out how best to manage a case to an achievable resolution that meets your goals. Your case is not about us - it’s about helping you achieve a practical, cost-effective objective. We prepare every case like it’s going to trial. But we know how to leverage that preparation to achieve early and positive outcomes.

Financial Predictability

We know the uncertain cost of litigation confounds business. We are comfortable working to budgets and fixed fees because we do it every day, and we’re willing to share risk (and rewards) with our clients. We have developed proven techniques to bring financial predictability to litigation.

Excellence, Efficiency, and Integrity

We are known in the legal community not only for our excellence, exceptional written work, and zealous advocacy, but also for our commitment to the integrity and efficiency of the legal process. Our approach reduces friction and helps us focus on the real issues that make a difference in getting the result you want.

National Depth

We have over 200 litigators across eleven offices. We've handled cases successfully across the country at all levels of state and federal court, including the U.S. Supreme Court. We can help solve your problems - the right way.
