Litigation: Appellate

About

Provided by Shutts & Bowen LLP

Our experienced attorneys are skilled in all aspects of appellate advocacy and procedure. They provide appellate support during trial and pretrial activities, assisting in the development of legal theories and proper record establishment, as well as preserving and identifying error.

Some of our attorneys have significant experience in administrative appeals, which are highly specialized in nature and involve high profile issues before Florida state agencies as well as appeals from administrative agency rulings at the local, state, and federal levels. Many of our attorneys have also served as counsel of record in cases presented to and argued before the U.S. Supreme Court.

In state and federal courts, we represent appellants, appellees and other interested parties in:

• Appeals of final orders;
• Interlocutory appeals;
• Original proceedings, including preparing petitions for certiorari, mandamus, prohibition and similar extraordinary writs;
• Motions for post-decision review (rehearing and rehearing en banc);
• Proceedings to invoke or oppose discretionary jurisdiction; and,
• Preparation and presentation of amicus curiae (friend of the court) briefs.
