Our bench of trial lawyers is deep and includes 4 Fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers. We have achieved high-profile trial victories against federal and state prosecutors and the SEC.
Our clients benefit from our years of high-level government service, our vast experience defending companies and individuals in the most important matters they confront, and our global presence through 16 offices in the US, Asia and Europe.
