Having an outside appellate lawyer on your high-stakes litigation team can be a game-changer.
We don’t appear in the trial courts, but rather operate behind the scenes to help litigators and trial lawyers win the first time — presenting arguments with clarity and brevity, and ensuring cases are as strong as they can be for an eventual appeal.
High-stakes litigation today is hard, with a lot happening in many directions at once. Bringing an appellate lawyer into your case early on can help ensure you’re best positioned for any future appeal.
It’s always best to win in the trial court. An appellate lawyer trained to think deeply and carefully about legal issues and employ advanced writing techniques can make a significant difference to your chances of success — while helping you prepare the record for an appeal, whichever side of the appeal you’re on.
We’ll help you think through your strategies and help draft motions, proposed rulings, jury instructions, and anything else that comes up. Many of our most sophisticated clients know the benefit we can bring consulting at trial — don’t miss out.
Anything that can go wrong in a trial, we’ve seen go wrong in a trial — trial court errors are the basis for every appeal. Our lawyers have published articles to help trial lawyers avoid some of those pitfalls, take advantage of mistakes their opponents make, and protect their records for appeal.
