Led by former Acting Solicitor General of the United States Jeff Wall—who has argued more than 30 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court—our Supreme Court and Appellate team is one of the most sought-after in the country. Our team handles challenging and high-profile appeals before the Supreme Court, the federal courts of appeals, and state appellate courts. We also provide counseling on complex legal issues, whether at earlier stages of the litigation or before litigation even begins.
Clients increasingly call on our Supreme Court and Appellate team to lead critical challenges to administrative regulations that pose existential risk to the regulated community. Our recent administrative cases involve some of the most consequential federal rules, including regulations on noncompete agreements, net neutrality, digital discrimination, vehicle emissions standards, proxy advisory firms, securities loan and short sale reporting, and SEC dealer registration requirements. Our appellate team members have spent time at the highest levels of the government, and are also able to draw on the experience and expertise that other S&C lawyers have in dealing with administrative agencies—from the inside and outside.
Beyond our breadth of experience, our appellate team stands out in three ways. First, we play nicely in the sandbox. We pride ourselves on being easy to work with, and we frequently work closely and cooperatively with in-house counsel, trial teams, and large joint defense groups. Second, who you hire is who you get. We don’t have figureheads; all our lawyers are invested in your matter. Third, our success is driven by the strength and diversity of our bench. We put faith in our entire signature block of lawyers, who have clerked for Justices and judges across the legal spectrum and who come from a variety of groups too long underrepresented in the appellate space.
