We handle cases nationally and often across borders in a variety of subject matters, from antitrust actions to real estate disputes, and from intellectual property cases to product liability claims. We litigate state and federal trials and appeals, as well as administrative proceedings, in jurisdictions throughout the country. We also represent clients in arbitration and mediation nationally and internationally.

Recognized by both Chambers USA and Best Lawyers, our lawyers regularly secure major victories across a wide range of legal claims and industries. They have included the first mandatory injunction ever issued against an Illinois municipality, a jury verdict for whistleblowers employed at a U.S. military base in Afghanistan, and a $315 million award following a jury trial in an antitrust action over card-shuffling technology.
