Caplan Cobb LLC

Caplan Cobb focuses on high-stakes, complex commercial litigation in state and federal courts in Georgia, representing both plaintiffs and defendants, in business litigation, class actions, and appellate matters. Caplan Cobb stands out for its exceptionally talented team of litigators. All of the firm’s attorneys graduated with honors and were federal law clerks or worked for prestigious litigation firms before joining Caplan Cobb. They joined Caplan Cobb to offer the same first-rate legal services but paired with the personal attention, responsiveness, and flexibility of a small firm. Caplan Cobb has handled some of the largest and most high-profile business litigation, class action, and civil rights matters in Georgia since the firm was founded in 2014.

Business Litigation. Caplan Cobb wins challenging cases by combining exceptional litigation skills with a deep understanding of clients’ businesses, goals, and objectives. The firm aims to obtain the best outcome for every dispute quickly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to the client’s business. The firm is often retained to give advice concerning ongoing business and legal matters, including corporate governance, contract review and negotiation, employment-related advice, risk management, high-stakes, bet-the-company disputes that pose a fundamental threat to a client’s business, and extremely sensitive personnel issues. Caplan Cobb is more than just litigators—they are trusted business advisors and counselors.

Appellate Practice. Caplan Cobb’s appellate practice is founded on the highest standards of written and oral advocacy. With a vast majority of the firm’s attorneys having served as federal trial and appellate law clerks, the firm brings tremendously valuable experiences to crafting successful appeals—determining which issues to appeal, isolating the most persuasive arguments, drafting a powerful brief, and thoroughly preparing for oral argument. On both the plaintiff and defense side, the firm works closely with trial counsel before and after an appeal is filed to develop a comprehensive appellate strategy.

Class Actions & Complex Litigation. Caplan Cobb’s experience in complex cases representing both classes of plaintiffs and defendants gives the firm a unique perspective and allows it to clarify the path to resolution. Caplan Cobb has a deep familiarity with federal practice, with over 85% of the firm’s attorneys having clerked for federal judges, mostly in Georgia. These experiences give it unparalleled insight. As a result, Caplan Cobb offers a strategic advantage to both clients and collaborators at some of the most renowned and successful class-action and multi-district litigation firms in the country.
