About

Provided by Thompson Coburn LLP

Thompson Coburn's national litigation team conquers business challenges through practical, pragmatic and cost-effective solutions – be it in arbitration, in settlement negotiations or at trial. They take a fighter’s mentality to every case, stepping into the ring with meticulous preparation and strategy.

The first rounds are spent analyzing the lay of the land — understanding the business, the legal challenges ahead, and the best tactics. But when the gloves come off, the team is ready to fight fiercely, delivering powerful, well-aimed arguments that cut through opposition and leave no opening for attacks, whether it’s a high-profile class action, a contractual breach, or a complicated corporate conflict.

The team includes former federal prosecutors, judges and government officials from across the nation as well as lawyers with in-house experience, C-level backgrounds and strong business acumen. While diverse in professional and personal backgrounds, TC litigators share a razor-sharp focus on client service and securing optimal results. They have tried cases in state and federal courts throughout the country, in national and international administrative tribunals, and before domestic and international arbitration panels.

And while the team is proud to say they try cases, they also save clients millions every year by not going to trial. They've even convinced the government to not pursue cases.
