The
Firm’s Litigation Department regularly advises a
broad spectrum of clients through the litigation
process, from discovery to resolution by settlement
or trial. We represent clients in all types of
commercial disputes, at all levels of complexity,
including claims brought under general contract law,
business tort law, federal and state employment
statutes and theories, insurance policies,
securities laws, intellectual property laws,
environmental laws, maritime laws, antitrust
theories, lender liability, products liability,
professional liability and class action
representations.
We
have extensive skill in complex litigation, which
often requires in-depth review and analysis of
thousands of documents and records. We maintain a
well-trained support staff, including paralegals,
secretaries and a litigation technology staff,
trained in the use of computers and computer
software. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology,
information can be economically and efficiently
assimilated, catalogued and transmitted to and from
our clients and co-counsel. We also utilize
sophisticated trial presentation software. The Firm
has considerable experience in monitoring all types
of litigation nationally on behalf of its clients.
It is approved by many insurance carriers for the
defense of their insureds.
In
advising clients regarding proposed or threatened
litigation, we take advantage of our extensive
experience in the courtroom. We also regularly
explore alternatives to traditional litigation, such
as arbitration and mediation, as we believe that
these strategies often serve the best interest of
our clients. When necessary, our appellate practice
group, consisting of former appellate clerks,
represents clients in federal and state appellate
courts across the nation.
