We represent major organizations, companies, and interest groups as “friends of the court.”
Amicus briefs are tricky — they need to persuade without repeating the parties’ briefs, say something new but relevant, and grab the court’s attention without being too flashy.
We’ve read thousands of amicus briefs while working for appellate courts, and thought deeply about what works. The briefs we write make a difference, and are briefs that appellate courts take into consideration, and even sometimes cite, when crating rules of law.
Our lawyers clerked for the appellate courts where we file our briefs, and are often names that the judges and justices recognize.
Anna-Rose Mathieson has filed numerous amici briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court and federal circuits, and both the New York Times and the Economist have written about her briefs.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, America’s Health Insurance Plans, and other major organizations have hired us for their amicus briefs.
Rather, we think creatively to ensure every amicus brief we file provides a unique and useful perspective relevant to the party we represent.
Amicus briefs require uncommon creativity to have an impact.
If a pending case applies to you, your business, or your organization but you’re not a party, we can come up with creative, impactful ways to present your viewpoint — even if you don’t yet know what you want to say.
