Our practice is recognized as among the very best nationwide. Clients retain us for the most complex and high-stakes matters, and our victories have helped shape the legal landscape in many arenas. Chambers USA has called our team a “bench of talent that is impressive beyond belief.” We have an equally wide-ranging practice in the federal courts of appeals and the state appellate courts; handle or assist with complex legal matters in the trial courts; and provide strategic advice to clients in a wide variety of industries and across a broad range of substantive legal areas.

A Deep Bench

Our practice is co-chaired by former US Solicitor General Seth Waxman, who has argued over 85 cases before the US Supreme Court, and Mark Fleming, who has argued eight Supreme Court cases. We have a remarkably deep bench: Debo Adegbile, Tom Saunders, Felicia Ellsworth, David Bowker and Louis Cohen have each argued in the US Supreme Court. Additionally, the group has argued several hundred appeals in the federal courts of appeals and state appellate courts.

Since 2023 alone, our team had 101 oral arguments in 19 state and federal courts of appeals by 48 different attorneys. This includes two in the US Supreme Court, 36 in the Federal Circuit, 15 in the Ninth Circuit, seven in the Second Circuit, six in the First Circuit, six in the Fourth Circuit and four in the Fifth Circuit. 

We also have deep experience in the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, having argued more than 89 cases between January 2020 to present. In January 2025, we argued six appeals in one week alone, and have already won five of them.
