  Appellate advocacy requires a set of distinct skills. The lawyers in my group use their experience to frame the issues on appeal in a way that captures the attention and respect of appellate judges and justices; to write concise and trenchant briefs that inform and educate the court; and to respond to questions at oral argument in a way that clarifies and reinforces the key issues. As an appellate lawyer, I tackle a broad range of issues in complex appeals arising from my firm's numerous practice groups, including commercial litigation, labor law, insurance (plaintiff-side) , finance, energy, tax, healthcare, environmental regulation, bankruptcy, and white collar crime. I work with the trial team before and during trial to strategize, write briefs, preserve issues, and position the case for appeal. Once judgment has been entered, I assist with post-trial motions and handle appeals in collaboration with the trial team. I also advise clients on the impact of recently decided and impending cases and draft amicus curiae briefs in critical cases in state and federal courts and the U.S. Supreme Court. Show less
