From Bench to Brief
The Complex Appellate Litigation Group — CALG — is one of California’s premier appellate law firms, with more than 25 lawyers across five offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, and Washington, D.C.
Twice named a Top Boutique in California by the Daily Journal and ranked by Chambers & Partners, CALG brings together certified appellate specialists, retired appellate justices, former Supreme Court and appellate court law clerks, and fellows of the California Academy of Appellate Lawyers into one of the nation’s most effective, creative, and successful appellate boutiques.
Major companies, small businesses, and individuals in complex litigation turn to us when everything is at stake.
We have exceptional experience not just with appeals, but also appellate writs, amicus briefs, and Supreme Court petitions. We handle cases in California’s Courts of Appeal and Supreme Court, the Ninth Circuit and other federal appellate courts, and the U.S. Supreme Court. We often consult with and embed into trial teams, ensuring appellate perspectives are a central part of our clients’ litigation strategy.
Because we are a specialty boutique, our costs are often substantially less than what larger firms charge. We have no associates learning on the job. Every case matters to us.
Our lawyers regularly win awards recognizing their expertise. They frequently publish expert articles on appellate topics, teach about appellate practice, and serve on important committees related to the appellate courts.
