Appellate Representation

Handling many high-stakes trials leads to briefing and arguing many high-stakes appeals. The complexity and uniqueness of our cases requires the highest level of legal analysis, strategy, and creativity. Our attorneys quickly cut through the noise of the district court record and focus on the crucial issues on appeal. Understanding both the trial and appeal side of a case allows us to develop the best record for appeal and effectively present arguments before the appellate court.

Advocacy with a Collaborative Edge

Our attorneys have handled a wide range of appeals, including mass tort, business disputes, medical malpractice, environmental cases, patent litigation, estates and trusts matters, and more. Many of our attorneys are former judicial law clerks for federal and state appellate courts, including the Eighth Circuit and Minnesota Supreme Court. Our team-based approach leads us to vigorous internal debate, ensuring we distill the issues into the most effective arguments for our clients.
