Our litigation experience cuts across industries, media and substance. Our clients have included oil and gas companies, chemical companies, financial institutions, real estate developers, manufacturers, retailers and transportation companies.
We have particular experience in dealing with expert witnesses in environmental litigation.

We understand the technical issues and the regulatory framework in which those issues arise.
