Civil Litigation

Sophisticated civil litigation for a diverse group of clients—both plaintiffs and defendants—makes up an important part of the firm’s practice. Complex civil and commercial litigation requires courtroom confidence and negotiating prowess—we have both. We have litigated a wide variety of high-profile and complex civil disputes, drawing on our reputation and skills as trial attorneys to achieve the best results for our clients regardless of whether the case ultimately goes to trial. Our criminal law expertise makes us sensitive to the criminal and regulatory implications of highly sensitive civil matters, which we handle discreetly and expediently.

We represent a wide range of clients, including prominent financial institutions, public and private companies and their officers and directors, accounting firms, insurance companies, and other organizations such as law firms, small businesses and partnerships, as well as individuals. We regularly handle matters in highly specialized areas, including securities, antitrust, employment discrimination, copyright, trademark, trade secret disputes, and RICO. We also handle complex commercial disputes involving claims of legal malpractice, fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and other business torts. We regularly counsel clients in litigation-avoidance and in resolving business disputes without litigation.
