Litigation Practice Areas

Each litigation assignment is different and they often change as we proceed through them. We are committed to close communication with the attorney and client regarding our capabilities and how those relate to the developing assignment.

Examples of areas in which we could be of potential benefit are listed below. These are not all encompassing of our areas of competence, nor do we claim comprehensive knowledge in all areas listed. Each prospective assignment is reviewed carefully for its match with our specific expertise prior to our accepting an assignment.
