Appellate Practice

The Firm’s extensive experience in the trial of complex actions is complemented by its appellate practice group, serving the needs of clients at all phases of the proceedings and at the highest levels of the state and federal court systems. Appellate advocacy is an extension, and at times, even an intended objective, of the trial process. The appellate practice group compliments the talents of the firm’s specialized practice disciplines to effectively achieve the client’s litigation and business objectives. Appellate lawyers collaborate with the litigation team to tailor litigation strategy and to shape legal and public policy arguments most favorable to those objectives. This collaboration includes framing legal theories, preparing and defending dispositive motions, preserving issues for appeal, and seeking interim appellate and writ relief, where appropriate, prior to trial. 

The Firm features three lawyers who have been certified as appellate specialists by the California State Bar’s Board of Legal Specialization; there are only 200 such specialists statewide. The appellate practice group is responsible for dozens of significant published decisions in state and federal courts throughout the country. They are currently participating in matters before the United States Supreme Court, the California Supreme Court, various federal circuit Courts of Appeals, and intermediate state appellate courts throughout the country.
