Our firm concentrates in complex commercial litigation. Composed of attorneys with “large firm” experience and skill, the firm now provides the attention and responsiveness available only at a smaller firm where the day-to-day needs of each client are important. Our clients get “large firm” expertise and “smaller firm” attention.

Our attorneys have established reputations for helping clients prevail in complex, critical cases. Our civil cases involve defense in both federal and state courts, arbitrations, and against both private and public plaintiffs. We can prepare technically intricate defenses and present them clearly and convincingly to juries and judges. Intense media coverage of our trials is not uncommon, and we provide effective counsel in that climate.

Proof of the firm’s expertise may be seen in some recent successful representations.

• The successful defense of a large corporation and its Chairman and CEO confronting possible civil monetary penalties of more than $1B sought by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of Thrift Supervision regarding the failure of a federally insured financial institution.
• The recovery of more than $300M over the last ten years exclusively on behalf of corporate policy holders denied coverage by their insurance carriers.
• The successful defense of brokers confronting significant fines and the suspension of professional licenses in Securities and Exchange Commission administrative proceedings.
• Navigation of a hostile litigation environment to recover monies from approximately half a dozen insurance carriers on behalf of a major healthcare corporation, thereby avoiding the need for the company to seek bankruptcy protection.
• Defeat of efforts to enforce an arbitration award and seize control of one of the assets of a leading international oil company.
