:: LITIGATION
The Litigation Department's attorneys have substantial experience in all aspects of dispute resolution, including negotiation, mediation and arbitration. When litigation is necessary, our attorneys draw on their skills in discovery, motion practice, and trial and appellate advocacy, as well as expertise in diverse substantive areas. The breadth of our experience is matched by a substantive depth of knowledge in numerous specialized areas of law.
We believe that outside counsel should work closely with the client's in-house legal staff on all aspects of the litigation process -- from the initial decision on whether to bring suit, through discovery, trial and appeal, including setting and monitoring litigation budgets. Whenever it is in the client's best interest, we endeavor to avoid litigation, settle or pursue alternative dispute resolution. We embrace the latest technology and case management techniques to enable us to provide our services more efficiently. Our aim is to maximize benefits and minimize costs to the client.
