Litigation 

Our litigators have extensive experience in complex matters, having tried hundreds of cases at all levels of state and federal courts and in commercial arbitrations throughout the Mid-Atlantic region—as well as many other jurisdictions around the country. We provide litigation counsel to businesses of all sizes and across a wide range of industries, with particular emphasis on manufacturing, distribution, finance and real estate industries.

Consistent with the firm’s overall approach to the practice of law, our litigators are client-focused and view litigation within the broader context of the client’s business and strategic objectives. We are aggressive advocates in and out of the courtroom and—because of our extensive trial experience—we frequently are able to craft the most favorable approach based on our knowledge of the jurisdiction involved. When a lawsuit first arises, we undertake a swift and thorough investigation of the facts, after which we advise clients on litigation strategy based on our assessment of cost and risk.
