About

Litigation: General Commercial

The Sills Cummis & Gross Litigation Department represents multinational corporations, financial institutions, and government bodies, often in complex and important matters. The Department’s attorneys are active in pre-trial, trial, and appellate matters in federal and state courts, as well as administrative litigation, grand jury investigations, and arbitrations. They pride themselves on advancing each client’s strategic business objectives, while at the same time striving to identify the key factual and legal issues that determine the final outcome of the litigation.

The Department does not see litigation as an end in itself, but rather as a means of achieving each client’s goals. This approach, together with a wealth of trial and appellate experience, places Sills Cummis at an advantage against adversaries both in litigating cases to verdict and in negotiating a favorable settlement, and also reduces, to the extent practicable, unnecessary and expensive pre-trial activity.

Litigation: Product Liability

The Sills Cummis & Gross Product Liability Practice Group has earned a reputation as a “go-to” practice for defending complex product liability cases and mass tort litigation, successfully representing pharmaceutical, medical device, consumer product, industrial equipment, and chemical companies as national, regional, and New Jersey counsel.
