Our Practices

Transactional

Our lawyers negotiate and close highly sophisticated transactions, representing public and private companies and private equity investors across a broad range of complex engagements.

Litigation

Our trial lawyers represent companies involved in business-critical lawsuits. We offer a deep bench of lawyers who have been taking cases to verdict since the early stages of their careers. Our trial-ready approach often yields better outcomes long before trial. We also regularly represent companies and boards in white collar and government-facing litigation.

Intellectual Property

Clients benefit from our critical mass of lawyers trained in a variety of technical disciplines with experience in litigation, transactions and counseling matters involving all areas of intellectual property.

Restructuring

Our restructuring lawyers navigate clients through the turmoil of situations involving financially troubled companies, with a powerful combination of sophisticated business advisory, crisis management and extensive experience in U.S., UK and international insolvency matters.
