Jennifer Fischell’s practice focuses on appeals and complex civil litigation. She has represented clients—including plaintiffs and defendants, executives, boards of directors, and corporate entities—before courts across the country, as well as in administrative and arbitral proceedings.
Ms. Fischell’s cases regularly involve cutting-edge regulatory, statutory, and constitutional questions requiring extensive legal research and creative thinking. She has filed cert-stage, amicus, and merits briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court on various novel issues of law. She frequently litigates patent matters on appeal to the Federal Circuit. And she has appeared in the D.C., Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, and Ninth Circuits in appeals related to a wide range of issues, including federal jurisdiction, free speech, bankruptcy, antitrust, white-collar defense, and energy law.
Ms. Fischell also advises clients on complex legal issues at earlier stages of her cases. She has advised clients on pre-suit litigation strategy regarding their potential claims or defenses. And she has litigated cases in state and federal trial courts, bankruptcy court, arbitration, and agencies like the International Trade Commission. Her experience includes preparing pleadings, managing discovery, drafting dispositive motions, taking and defending depositions, and going to trial. During trial proceedings, she has also advised clients on appellate issues they might encounter later in the case.
Ms. Fischell’s trial-through-appeal perspective comes not just from her practice, but from her time clerking for judges at all levels of the federal judiciary. Most recently, she clerked for Justice Elena Kagan of the United States Supreme Court. Prior to first joining MoloLamken in 2018, she also clerked for Judge Raymond Kethledge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and Judge Ronnie Abrams of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
