Practice Areas

Appellate Litigation

Appeals are a different game, and we specialize in playing it well. Our team knows how to cut through a dense record, isolate the very strongest issues, and build arguments that resonate with appellate judges. As dedicated appellate specialists, we bring the kind of fresh, focused perspective that can make the difference between winning and losing in the higher courts. Our team’s clear strategy, precise briefing, and vigorous oral advocacy allow us to stand toe-to-toe with the biggest defense firms.

Trial Support

Our role as appellate specialists is not limited to the appellate courts. We regularly partner with trial teams to provide behind-the-scenes advising and support that keeps long-term strategy in view. From briefing dispositive motions to spotting and preserving appellate issues, our presence benefits even the most seasoned trial attorneys by honing arguments and protecting the record for appeal. As we handle complex research and writing tasks throughout the lifespan of a case, trial counsel can stay focused on the facts and the jury.

Criminal Defense

We partner with New York’s top defense attorneys to develop and execute effective trial and appellate strategy in an array of criminal matters. Our criminal defense practice reflects the same strengths that define our appellate work: incisive analysis, meticulous writing, and a strategic eye for the long game. We take a lean, nimble, and collaborative approach to supporting defense teams, and by working closely with trial counsel, we sharpen constitutional arguments and safeguard the rights of those facing the weight of the criminal justice system.
