Six practices · each led by a named partner. We don't take work outside these areas. Conflict-clearing is partner-reviewed before engagement letters issue. We accept fewer matters than we decline.
Bet-the-company commercial disputes in federal and Delaware Chancery courts. Joint venture breakups · breach of contract · partnership disputes · trade secret · post-closing earn-out litigation. Avg. matter size $40M — $1.2B in dispute.
Defendant-side securities class actions, derivative suits, and SEC enforcement matters. Twenty-one motion-to-dismiss wins since 2014. Coordinated ATSI defense for cross-listed issuers.
$50M — $2B private deal flow. Carveouts · ESOP rollovers · founder secondaries · cross-border structuring. We do not staff broad due diligence — we are deal counsel, not deal vendors.
Internal investigations · FCPA + economic-sanctions counseling · DOJ + SEC enforcement defense · monitor engagements. Privilege-led from intake; engagement letter forms part of the work product.
Federal appellate practice across the 2nd · 3rd · 9th · DC Circuits. Two petitions for certiorari granted (2019, 2023). Amicus drafting for trade associations.
Senior-executive separations · partnership-tier disputes · restrictive-covenant litigation · ERISA top-hat plan disputes. Discreet · negotiated outcomes preferred · litigation when necessary.
