We are trial lawyers dedicated to the craft of courtroom lawyering.
Every case is a play performed on a courtroom stage with an audience of judges and juries. This is our workspace. We prepare every case from inception based on the few dominant facts and themes that will define the dispute and determine the outcome. We do not figure out cases as we go like many firms. Instead, we are preparing for trial from go. And we leverage our trial preparation and skill to dictate results often long before trial.
We deliver outsized impact with velocity and efficiency.
Our “bespoke” litigation strategies and skilled courtroom advocacy have reformed industries, saved businesses, restored reputations, and delivered billions of dollars in value. We have done so against the biggest adversaries deploying phalanxes of large firms and lawyers. To do so, our founders personally direct the planning and execution of our case strategies from inception. We leverage this skill and preparation with an organic group of experienced investigators, lean teams of the best legal talent, and cutting-edge technology. This combination delivers maximum impact at maximum velocity and value. We prove that skill and preparation, not billable hours, determine outcomes.
We advocate in the public square as well as the courtroom.
We understand that today the public square can influence outcomes more quickly than the courtroom and have unparalleled experience managing this element of many disputes.
We back up our words with skin in the game alongside clients.
We offer a range of alternative fee options and have a stable of litigation funders and insurers to ensure a client can sustain the prosecution of their claim or defense.
We are committed to fighting for the vulnerable against the powerful.
For years we have advocated for individuals and organizations threatened by powerful interests or challenges, including victims of child sexual abuse and human trafficking, 9/11 victims, minority-owned businesses, whistleblowers, and Gold Star families.
