Appellate litigation involves the representation of individuals and other entities before reviewing courts. Appeals often involve complex legal and factual issues. Our attorneys have experience preparing appellate briefs and presenting oral argument before state and federal courts of review on both interlocutory orders and final orders. We have briefed and argued a variety of legal issues on appeal, such as:
- The mootness doctrine
- Forum non conveniens
