grow from an intellectually curious self-starter into an exceptional lawyer. If you aspire to

be the best, this is where you belong.  

About the Role

They represent companies, financial institutions, private equity firms, and individuals in

their most significant and high-stakes disputes. They tailor their litigation teams to the

specific characteristics of each matter, drawing on a global team of seasoned litigators

and trial lawyers to match the industry, claims, subject matter, client goals, and venue at

play. Regardless of the nature of the dispute, they adopt a trial-ready strategy from the

outset to achieve the best result for the client, in whatever form success takes.

Their deep bench of experienced trial lawyers, including dozens of former US federal

prosecutors have successfully tried or arbitrated hundreds of cases to verdict in the last

decade. Opposing counsel knows their track record of taking the toughest cases to trial

and winning — a reputation that often influences settlement considerations when their

name appears on the docket.

They pair their experience with a fluency in the market dynamics that are influencing

industries — from financial services to technology and energy to life sciences — across

the world. They routinely litigate business torts, contract and joint venture disputes,

fraud and unfair competition, as well as consumer protection claims, insolvency and

restructuring matters, insurance coverage, and trade secrets cases across a wide range

of industries and venues. This diverse practice gives them insight into the litigation

strategies that help their clients prevail.

Their clients’ business objectives guide our litigation planning. They take into account

the size of the matter, the client’s exposure or upside, and the significance of the case

to the client. Recognizing that litigation is just one part of a larger business strategy,

They evaluate early exit options to minimize costs, including dispositive motions,

alternative dispute resolution, and settlement, as well as third-party indemnification and

insurance coverage.
