Our litigators have produced an extraordinary series of favorable outcomes for our clients. We have successfully represented clients in high-stakes and often precedent-setting lawsuits, including class actions and multi-district cases. The breadth of our practice meets or exceeds that of any firm in the country, and covers all areas of civil litigation, including commercial, mass tort, antitrust, intellectual property and securities litigation.
Our approach is decidedly aggressive. We are convinced that we achieve the best results for our clients by focusing from the beginning of each case on preparation for trial. More than other firms, our lawyers take a significant number of matters to trial each year. Our trial-ready reputation and preparation have been the basis for achieving favorable results for our clients not only in trials but through settlements and alternative dispute resolution procedures as well.
We have pioneered the development and implementation of creative and successful legal strategies for handling the most serious litigation matters nationwide. We work closely with our clients in developing these strategies, and we are particularly attentive to the broader business, legal and public relations implications of the matters we are handling. We look for opportunities to enable our clients to turn legal liabilities into assets, and we have been unusually successful in doing so.
Our litigators are not organized in specialized departments or groups. Litigation is the expertise of the firm's lawyers, as good advocacy can be brought to bear in any kind of case. That is the firm's conviction and one of the bases of the firm's success.
Of course, litigators develop knowledge and experience in particular areas of practice, and the firm draws on that knowledge and experience as it is required. This site describes several of the litigation areas in which firm attorneys have expertise. Few of the firm's attorneys, however, would describe their experience by reference to even only a few of these areas.
