Practice Areas
EAMON P. JOYCE is a New York-based partner in Sidley’s Supreme Court and Appellate Practice. He has handled dozens of cases in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and he regularly argues in that court and state appellate courts in New York. Eamon also has handled appeals in nearly every federal court of appeals, argued appeals in other federal and state courts, and filed more than 50 merits and certiorari-stage briefs in the United States Supreme Court. Eamon’s appeals have addressed a wide range of issues, including federal preemption, federal jurisdiction, class certification, the Federal Arbitration Act, securities, shareholder rights, administrative law, antitrust, punitive damages, and constitutional law.
Eamon also is a highly experienced first-chair lawyer in the federal district courts in cases presenting difficult and novel legal questions. He has argued dispositive motions, motions for injunctive relief, and against class certification motions. In addition to regularly authoring district court briefs in these postures, Eamon has significant experience in pre-trial and post-trial briefing, as well as in briefing leave for interlocutory appeal. Eamon frequently defends companies in class action litigation, including consumer protection, data breach, securities, and antitrust cases. Eamon has argued and briefed numerous matters before the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, and he has often defended clients in federal multidistrict litigation. While Eamon concentrates his trial court-level work on oral advocacy and briefing, he also has litigated multi-day evidentiary hearings on class certification in federal district court and first-chaired trials and evidentiary hearings in state court.
After law school, Eamon joined Sidley in Washington, D.C., and then served as a law clerk to the Honorable Roger L. Gregory of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. In addition to his client work, Eamon serves as the New York chair of Sidley’s Pro Bono and Public Interest Law Committee and as a member of the firm’s Committee on the Retention and Promotion of Women.
