What We Do
We’re litigators built for high-stakes disputes—whatever the forum, issue, or industry. Our work tends to cluster in the areas highlighted below.
Commercial Litigation
We handle high-stakes business disputes across industries, jurisdictions, and issues. We’ve routinely represented plaintiffs and defendants in complex commercial litigation involving breach of contract, fiduciary duties, fraud and negligent misrepresentation, tortious interference, unfair competition, business divorces, antitrust, and soft IP claims. We’ve represented clients across the spectrum—from public companies and private equity firms and portcos to startups, family-owned enterprises, and individual executives and entrepreneurs. We’re not industry-bound, but have primarily litigated cases involving financial services, mergers and acquisitions, energy, life sciences, consumer products, media, and tech.
We don’t follow a playbook—we develop tailored and creative strategies for each case, relentlessly posture for trial, and secure favorable outcomes at every stage, from the motion to dismiss through a verdict and appeal.

Class and Mass Actions
We have represented both plaintiffs and defendants in high-stakes class actions—across industries, jurisdictions, and substantive areas of law. We bring deep knowledge of the procedural and strategic complexities unique to class actions, along with substantive expertise across the underlying areas of law. We have litigated a broad range of claims, including consumer fraud, breach of warranty, data privacy, false advertising, consumer credit, and antitrust disputes. Our experience as counsel for both plaintiffs and defendants in a broad variety of class actions gives us a comprehensive perspective on the strategic decisions that drive successful outcomes.

International Arbitration
We’ve represented major corporations as claimants and respondents in numerous high-stakes international arbitration proceedings conducted by the ICC, ICDR/AAA, JAMS, and other leading arbitral institutions. We’ve successfully obtained merits awards after arbitral hearings, achieved favorable settlements on multi-billion dollar claims, and obtained or thwarted interim relief in several emergency arbitration proceedings.
Too often, international arbitration ends up taking longer or costing more than national litigation. We don’t follow that playbook or the “club” norms. No dispute requires 300-page submissions. Arbitration should be an inexpensive and free-form venue for parties to efficiently obtain clarity over their rights. We fight for that process, and embrace the foundational principles of party autonomy and procedural flexibility as enabling mechanisms for our creativity and prowess in written advocacy to shine. Ultimately, we succeed in international arbitrations because we use them as a sandbox to do what we do best—persuade.

Corporate Advisory
Transactional Advisory
The best time to hire a litigator is often before one appears to be needed. Too many costly disputes stem from issues that could have been avoided with early input from someone trained to spot how deals unravel. Even the sharpest transactional lawyers routinely miss points that would have prevented litigation down the road, and they often draft dispute resolution provisions that make future conflicts more expensive and painful than they needed to be.
Across our careers, we’ve seen countless cases that could have been avoided altogether if a litigator had spent just a few hours reviewing a contract, policy, or business practice before it went into effect. To help businesses stay ahead of that risk, we offer flat-rate advisory services that bring a litigator’s judgment to the table before problems arise. We’ll review your agreements, policies, or operational decisions with a focus on how, when, or why a dispute could emerge—and suggest tailored, often subtle revisions to eliminate or blunt the risk before it takes root.
Consumer Protection and Class Action Advisory
That same philosophy underpins our corporate advisory work for companies looking to avoid consumer class actions. With experience on both sides of the “v” in class action litigation, we understand not just what the law says, but how plaintiffs’ lawyers think, where they look for claims, and how cases get traction. We help clients proactively identify litigation risks in areas like billing practices, website tracking, auto-renewal terms, loyalty programs, advertising disclosures, and similar issues that regularly form the basis of class action claims under state consumer protection laws. Our approach is strategic, collaborative, and grounded in real-world enforcement trends. By addressing vulnerabilities early, we help clients avoid costly litigation, protect brand reputation, and maintain customer trust—all without the expense or disruption of fighting a lawsuit later.

Employment Litigation
We advise and represent organizations and individuals in a range of complex and sensitive employment-related matters, including workplace misconduct, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage theft, and employment contract disputes. We are sensitive to the unique personal, cultural, public image, and financial considerations that often drive the resolution of employment disputes, and we drive successful outcomes for our clients by combining our knowledge and experience in employment law with the business sophistication and elite advocacy skills we have forged through our diverse experiences in high-stakes commercial disputes.
We have undertaken cases for individuals against some of the nation’s most powerful companies, and we have represented employers in a range of high-stakes disputes, such as those involving the alleged wrongful termination of the CEO of a nationwide retail chain, allegations of sexual harassment lodged against a Fortune 500 company, and hostile workplace allegations against a CEO of a large manufacturer. From navigating pre-dispute mediations and settlements, to filing charges before the EEOC or state agencies, or to prosecuting or defending claims in state and federal courts, we deliver meaningful and just outcomes for our clients.

Data Privacy
We represent individuals, consumers, and businesses in high-stakes data privacy matters—focusing on the misuse, mishandling, and unauthorized monetization of personal information. Whether it’s a data breach exposing sensitive records, unauthorized sharing of user data, or tracking through hidden pixels, cookies, or session replay code, we hold bad actors accountable when they cross the line. We also help companies avoid class action lawsuits by advising them on the latest trends in data privacy litigation and best practices in the data privacy space.
Our firm focuses on data privacy issues involving:
- Major data breaches impacting financial, healthcare, or other sensitive data;
- Improper use of tracking tools on hospital and healthcare websites and mobile applications, violating HIPAA and patient privacy rights;
- Dark patterns and deceptive consent practices used to trick users into sharing personal data;
- Unauthorized recording of website interactions, including session replay and chat communications without consent;
- Sharing or selling of user data to third parties, including advertisers and AI companies, without proper disclosure;
- Improper retention or failure to delete consumer data after a termination of services or in violation of CCPA deletion rights.
We don’t just advise on compliance—we litigate on behalf of those harmed. With experience in class actions, consumer protection statutes, and emerging privacy frameworks like the CCPA, BIPA, and VPPA, we deliver big-firm sophistication with the agility, creativity, and personal attention of a focused plaintiff-side practice.
