  • General & Complex Litigation

Unlike many competitors, the firm maintains a conflict-free platform — it never represents insurance companies — enabling partners to pursue the highest-value disputes without restrictions.

The culture is entrepreneurial but collaborative, offering the infrastructure of a national platform with the flexibility to build and expand your practice on your own terms.
