When a case goes to trial the disruption to your organization can be far-reaching and the financial and reputational ramifications may prove irreparable.

There is a myth that trials are dead and that cases either settle or get decided on dispositive motions prior to trial. Jury trials may be necessary for a variety of reasons, such as unreasonable settlement demands, strong business principles of avoiding frivolous settlements or judges who are reluctant to grant dispositive motions.

Although trials are rare, having trusted and experienced trial counsel who understand how to position a case for a successful trial result often leads to increased success on dispositive motions and favorable settlements. Further, the need for experienced appellate attorneys is critical to minimizing appealable issues prior to an appeal, appealing adverse findings or defending favorable outcomes obtained at the trial court level.
