Practice Areas
Litigation
The attorneys at Folger Levin are litigators of the highest caliber. They are strategic, trustworthy, effective trial lawyers who recently delivered a key win for Lyft. They are also skilled counselors with keen business sense. We rely on them not just for high-stakes litigation, but for strategic counsel and practical advice as well.
Our litigation attorneys provide highly strategic, effective advocacy to clients from a diverse range of industries. Central to our litigation philosophy is the recognition that the objectives of our clients vary from case to case, and that our success turns on our ability to dynamically and individually tailor our approach to meet each client’s unique objectives.
We have extensive trial and appellate experience representing corporate clients and individuals in a wide array of complex commercial disputes, including disputes involving breach of contract, trade secret misappropriation, fraud and unfair competition, intellectual property, employment, creditor’s rights, partnership and trust disputes, and access to public accommodations.
Regardless of the client’s specific goals, we believe that obtaining counsel with significant trial experience is essential: a credible threat of effective trial advocacy helps achieve objectives as diverse as obtaining a pre-litigation settlement, positioning the case for successful dispositive motion practice, or obtaining a judgment after trial. Each of our litigation partners has extensive trial experience and our attorneys have served as counsel of record in trials, evidentiary hearings, and arbitrations throughout the country.
We frequently represent both defendants and corporate plaintiffs, and we believe that our experience in both prosecuting and defending against civil suits enhances our ability to anticipate the strategies of opposing parties so that we can most effectively serve our clients.
