Stoel Rives' Idaho Litigation department is distinguished by its deep bench of nationally recognized trial and appellate advocates and its consistent success in high-stakes, high-impact matters. The Boise-based team is known for its leadership in complex commercial litigation, government investigations, and civil rights pro bono work.
We litigate some of the highest-profile cases in the state and region, with particular strength in regulatory and administrative proceedings, appellate advocacy, insurance recovery, constitutional and civil rights litigation, agricultural product liability, commercial contract disputes, construction defects, environmental disputes, intellectual property, probate, product liability, real estate, trade secret defense and enforcement, securities litigation, white-collar defense, and government investigations. The team has additional depth in agribusiness, healthcare, energy, and infrastructure.
Our attorneys have secured victories in jury and bench trials, administrative proceedings, and appeals across multiple jurisdictions. Our appellate practice is a cornerstone of the department's reputation; we routinely handle appeals before the Ninth Circuit, the Idaho Supreme Court, and other state and federal appellate courts, often shaping legal doctrine in Idaho and beyond.
