Our trial and arbitration practice is built for complexity – from multi-forum litigation to bet-the-company commercial claims. We pair seasoned first chair advocates with deep subjectmatter insight, delivering strategies that anticipate adversaries, align with commercial realities, and win in courtrooms and arbitral tribunals.
Our global team of disputes lawyers has successfully tried hundreds of cases with billions of dollars at issue before judges, juries, and domestic and international arbitration panels.
Our lawyers are trial-ready from day one. We develop a clear narrative, pressure-test the facts, and harness the right experts to make sophisticated issues intelligible and compelling. Whether navigating expedited discovery, parallel regulatory scrutiny, or emergency relief, we move quickly and precisely, leveraging analytics, smart case management, and the firm’s full bench of subject authorities. In arbitration, we are equally at home before all major institutions and ad hoc panels, with a global footprint that ensures seamless coordination across languages, laws, and time zones.
We regularly take over cases on the eve of trial, when the stakes are highest, and we have a unique mix of plaintiff- and defense-side trial experience uncommon to many large international firms.
We measure strategy against what matters to you: speed, certainty, cost discipline, and the freedom to get back to business. That means proactive early case assessments, decisive motions practice, targeted discovery, and a readiness to try the case when it advances your goals. It also means negotiating from strength and, where appropriate, structuring creative resolutions that preserve value and confidentiality.
Our teams build cases with the goal of winning at trial, but we also account for the possibility of an appeal and take proactive steps to ensure that potential appellate issues are preserved. For cases where a key part of pretrial, trial, and post-trial strategy is to plan for and win at the appellate level, our appellate lawyers will take on a more prominent role and help the trial team develop a trial strategy geared toward winning at the appellate level.
From first demand letter to final award or verdict, we are unwavering advocates and pragmatic partners. If your dispute is complex, global, or mission-critical, our team brings the experience, judgment, and courtroom presence to see you through – every step, every forum, everywhere you do business.
