Appellate

Our Appellate Services

Our appellate practice brings sophisticated advocacy to appeals in intellectual property, technology, and commercial disputes. Our attorneys have argued before the Federal Circuit and all regional circuits, achieving precedent-setting victories for clients.

Specialized Appellate Expertise

Appellate advocacy requires different skills than trial practice. We combine deep legal analysis with persuasive brief writing and oral argument skills. Our attorneys understand how appellate courts think and what arguments resonate with appellate judges.

Comprehensive Appellate Services

We handle direct appeals from district court final judgments, interlocutory appeals on certified questions, mandamus petitions challenging district court orders, ITC appeals to the Federal Circuit, PTAB appeals, and Supreme Court certiorari petitions in appropriate cases.

Strategic Consultation

We frequently consult with trial teams during litigation to preserve appellate issues and develop trial strategies that position cases for appellate success. Early involvement improves outcomes.

Cross-Practice Integration

Our appellate attorneys work closely with trial teams across the firm, providing appellate perspective on patent, trademark, trade secret, and commercial matters. This integration ensures seamless transitions from trial to appeal.
