Litigation
Routinely handling high-risk litigation matters in a wide array of disciplines spanning state and federal courts, before governmental agencies, and in international and domestic arbitrations, Stradley Ronon’s litigation lawyers have been involved in every stage — from pre-litigation planning through discovery, trial and appeal. Our litigation team ensures alignment with clients’ business objectives and stays focused on the endgame: delivering positive results.
Taking a value-driven, focused and practical approach — while armed with the confidence of having taken scores of cases to verdict and successful settlements — our litigation practice is entrusted with clients’ most critical business litigation matters. We have been repeatedly named a Standout firm for complex commercial and class action litigation by BTI Consulting Group and recognized by Best Lawyers in multiple litigation areas. Our litigators include several veteran trial and arbitration lawyers, many of whom are fellows of the prestigious American College of Trial Lawyers and Litigation Counsel of America; lawyers fluent in specific industries and sectors; and former judicial law clerks, assistant U.S. attorneys and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission staff members.
Our Cross-Disciplinary Approach
On behalf of some of the largest financial institutions, we are regularly involved in matters across numerous jurisdictions through the United States. We quickly assemble cross-disciplinary teams to assess, manage and lead large portfolios of matters and multidistrict litigation. Where possible, we resolve complex disputes through alternative dispute resolution with a team of lawyers well-versed in appearing before the American Arbitration Association, JAMS and other arbitral tribunals.
Our careful case strategizing, ability to build persuasive arguments, effective motion practice and wealth of trial experience have earned us a reputation as formidable opponents and have led to many favorable verdicts, awards and settlements for our clients. Employing the latest technologies, case-appropriate staffing and proven project management technologies, we streamline the case management and discovery process and maintain our focus on delivering positive results in even the most document-intensive cases.
