Practice areas
Four areas. All depth, no breadth.
We don’t spread the firm across 30 practice groups. We do four things at the very top of the market.
Practice 1
Complex commercial litigation
Bet-the-company disputes. Contract litigation. Business torts. Breach of fiduciary duty. Equitable disputes that don’t fit other firms’ matrices.
- Federal + state trial work in NY, DE, CA, TX, IL
- Appellate practice — Second Circuit, Federal Circuit, Delaware Supreme Court
- Pre-litigation strategy, settlement architecture
- Multi-district litigation coordination (defense-side)
Practice 2
Securities + class action defense
10b-5 securities fraud actions, derivative suits, IPO-related claims, M&A litigation, SPAC-era follow-on litigation. Multi-billion-dollar exposure cases.
Practice 3
Strategic M&A + transactions
Public-company M&A in the $100M – $5B range. Take-privates, distressed transactions, activist defense, board fiduciary advice. Where the legal complexity drives the deal economics.
Practice 4
Government investigations
DOJ, SEC, state AG, congressional investigations. Pre-charge resolution where possible. Internal investigations. Monitor relationships and remediation work.
