About

Provided by Choate Hall & Stewart LLP

Choate is one of the country’s go-to firms for complex, high-stakes litigation and investigations.

We are built, and privileged, to handle litigation and investigation matters of strategic importance to our clients. The members of our team are known for their technical and advocacy skills, and practical business judgment. 

Sharing a fundamental belief that no two cases are the same and different clients may wish to pursue different strategies, we quickly learn and understand our clients’ business goals and the technology and other issues involved in a dispute, and then apply our skills and experience to develop practical strategies and solutions to support our clients’ long-term strategic goals. Sometimes that means avoiding litigation. Other times, that means pursuing the case using the most aggressive strategy available.

Our litigation and investigation work regularly focuses on representing Fortune 500 and other market-leading companies in complex litigation and appellate matters of all sizes and across a range of industries, including life sciences, big and emerging pharma, financial services, healthcare, consumer products, and private equity.
