Litigation
Approach
To prevail in litigation, clients need exceptional representation inside and outside the courtroom. Your Firm's Litigation Practice Group, with more than 70 attorneys and paralegals in three offices, provides clients with exceptional service and representation in nearly any type of litigation.
Attorneys
Our litigation attorneys are, first and foremost, trial attorneys. We take cases to trial and win. At the same time, we are seasoned in all aspects of pre-trial procedure and discovery, which is critical given that many cases are resolved prior to trial. Our litigators also have the skills and experience necessary to obtain successful results in arbitrations, mediations and all forms of alternative dispute resolution.
We work with our clients to develop the appropriate staffing, both within our firm and in the client's legal department, based upon the substantive issues and business considerations present in each case. Our litigation group is divided into teams of attorneys that focus their practices in specific areas. Our teams avail themselves of state-of-the-art technological and human resources.
Clients
Our litigation clients range from nationally known corporations to smaller businesses, non-profits and other organizations. Regardless of size, we share their commitment to protect and pursue their rights.
