We are known first and foremost as trial lawyers, with the experience and confidence to take cases all the way – especially when the stakes are the greatest. We regularly go up against the most skilled adversaries, winning landmark cases all over the country, handling arbitrations here and abroad, and achieving appellate victories. Our litigators have tried and argued cases in virtually every forum – from state and federal trial and appellate courts, to the U.S. bankruptcy courts and the Delaware Court of Chancery, to U.S. and international arbitration panels and mediators, to administrative tribunals of all kinds. Wherever and whenever we stand up for our clients, we prepare to play the long game. We are always ready to go to trial, but we also use our readiness and reputation to strike favorable settlements and minimize regulatory risks.
