Paul D Clement
Star Individuals
Paul Clement is widely regarded as one of the premiere appellate lawyers of his generation, drawing widespread praise and respect for his track record in some of the most complex and high-profile disputes heard before the Supreme Court in recent times.

Paul is one of the smartest lawyers I've ever met. He has such great insight; he has views and perspectives that I know no-one else is using. There isn't an appellate lawyer in in the USA that I would pick over Paul.

There is no-one better. No-one does written product, oral advocacy or framing of arguments better. When it comes down to arguing cases, particularly in the Supreme Court, he is unique in that he is able to exert influence across the ideological spectrum of the Court.

He is the finest and most credible appellate attorney, oral advocate and strategist in the nation.

Paul Clement is simply the best at what he does. He is the finest appellate and critical law and motion attorney I have ever worked with.

Paul is world class – he's on Mount Rushmore; he's in the pantheon of appellate lawyers. What makes him special is his complete command of the legal issues, and his judgment, so he can choose how to present the case in the best way for this audience, in whichever court. He is the consummate advocate in that way.
