We represent all types of clients across several practice areas. But the common theme across our practice is that we use litigation for affirmative recovery: we bring claims on behalf of individuals, businesses, nonprofits, and governments to obtain compensation and justice for clients, often in cases involving millions and even billions of dollars and serious violations of the law.
Antitrust
Price-fixing. Bid rigging. Group boycotts. Cartel behavior. Monopolization and exclusionary business tactics.
Our Antitrust practice involves representing consumers, businesses, and governments when they have been cheated by powerful, entrenched companies that are using unfair tactics in the marketplace.
China & Taiwan
Cross-border disputes. Foreign investment scams. Transnational repression. Political interference in markets. Abuse by state-owned enterprises.
Our China and Taiwan practice melds our litigation experience with our deep insight into the economies, cultures, and sociopolitical systems of both China and Taiwan. We are asked by clients or lawyers who have cases in one of our other practice areas for assistance when those cases have a China or Taiwan component. Unlike many firms with a “China practice,” our firm is one of the only U.S. law firms with high-level litigators who speak Chinese, possess cultural and political fluency with respect to both mainland China and Taiwan, and have been adverse to and taken positions contrary to the Chinese Communist Party and the government of the People's Republic of China (the Party-state). We are the ideal law firm for complex litigation matters that involve the risk of being adverse to the Party-state.
Commercial
High-stakes contract breaches. Multi-party disputes. Bad faith conduct by counterparties. Competitors meddling in business relationships.
Our Commercial practice involves representing individuals and businesses in complex breach of contract and business tort cases. Whether the dollars at issue are $1 million or $1 billion, we provide careful, efficient, and business-oriented advice to clients so that they know how to best maximize their available options.
Fraud & Fiduciary
Lying to investors. Accounting shenanigans. Ponzi schemes. Self-dealing by board members and C-suite officers. Market manipulation.
Our Fraud & Fiduciary practice involves representing shareholders and investors when they have been misled or sold out by executives and board members who are meant to protect shareholder interests and investor money. We also represent whistleblowers who have inside knowledge of this type of misconduct, leveraging our knowledge of the law and relationships with regulators to obtain significant compensation for our whistleblower clients.
Human & Civil Rights
Corporate complicity with autocratic, tyrannical, and totalitarian governments. Forced labor and human trafficking. Discrimination. Censorship, surveillance, and propaganda. Misinformation and disinformation campaigns.
