Overview
Our practice is universally recognized as among the very best nationwide. Clients retain us for the most complex and high-stakes matters, and our victories have helped shape the legal landscape in many arenas. We have an equally wide-ranging practice in the federal courts of appeals and the state appellate courts; handle or assist with complex legal matters in the trial courts; and provide strategic advice to clients in a variety of industries and across a range of legal areas.
Our practice is chaired by former US Solicitor General Seth Waxman, who has argued 84 cases before the US Supreme Court. We have a remarkably deep bench: Vice Chairs Mark Fleming and Danielle Spinelli have argued six and seven Supreme Court cases, respectively, and Partners Debo Adegbile, Catherine Carroll, Tom Saunders and David Bowker have each argued multiple Supreme Court cases. The group has argued several hundred appeals in the federal courts of appeals and state appellate courts.
In 2020, 36 different lawyers made 58 oral arguments in 17 different federal and state courts of appeals. In 2019, we recorded an additional 37 arguments by 13 lawyers in 10 courts. In 2018, 31 of our lawyers argued 52 cases in 16 federal and state courts of appeals, covering a wide range of substantive areas.
