Litigation:

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. Our litigators have tried and argued cases in virtually every forum, including state and federal trial and appellate courts, the U.S. bankruptcy courts and the Delaware Court of Chancery, U.S. and international arbitration panels and mediators, and administrative tribunals of all kinds. While we are always ready to go to trial, we leverage our readiness and reputation to strike favorable settlements and minimize regulatory risks.

Corporations, financial services and private equity firms, investors and leading executives also turn to the Litigation Department when threatened with serious government investigations and enforcement actions.
