Our litigators are known for their ability to succeed in high-stakes, complex, and often multijurisdictional cases. Our clients, whether early stage companies or Fortune 100 companies, turn to us for help with their most difficult legal actions. We work closely with clients to understand their businesses, identify potential areas of legal exposure, devise strategies to manage risk and, where appropriate, resolve disputes short of trial.
We try cases regularly in courts throughout the United States, Japan, and the UK, and in major international arbitration centers around the globe. We are leading advocates in the areas of antitrust, aviation, class action defense, communications, consumer products, employment, energy, financial services, intellectual property and patents, private securities litigation, product liability, retail, unfair competition, and white-collar criminal defense. Our litigators include former government prosecutors and officials experienced in compliance investigations, with particular expertise in antitrust and global competition and the FCPA.
Our resources include more than 150 lawyers with advanced technical degrees and experience as engineers and other technical professionals who bring that training and experience to the analysis of claims and defenses with respect to technology, life sciences, financial services, consumer products, and product liability.
