Appellate and Constitutional Litigation

Seasoned Appellate Experts

Kasowitz’s appellate group, led by Chair Amit R. Vora, brings to bear a rare combination of analytical creativity, clear-eyed judgment, and scholarly rigor to draft briefs and deliver oral arguments that resonate with appellate judges.  Our experienced appellate advocates are also embedded in trial teams to develop legal strategy, preserve issues, and position cases for victory.
 
What sets the Kasowitz appellate team apart?  We are fearless.  We are unafraid to push the legal envelope or challenge entrenched doctrines, and we do not pull punches that promote our clients’ interests.  Clients accordingly turn to Kasowitz not only to challenge or defend trial outcomes, but also to define the battleground for future litigation, shape precedent, and create a favorable legal landscape.
 
The Kasowitz appellate practice is active in the U.S. Supreme Court and federal and state courts of appeals across the country.  Our appellate advocacy spans a broad range of issues and industries, including constitutional issues and matters of first impression.  Given our New York roots and our formidable bench of financial litigators, we are particularly active in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and New York State’s Appellate Division and Court of Appeals.  Our deep experience with New York substantive and procedural law has made us an unparalleled choice for New York appellate litigation.
