Premier Trial, Litigation and Advocacy Reputation

Comprehensive Protection of Clients

Howrey attorneys are "In Court Every Day™" not just litigating, but trying cases involving precedent-setting legal issues that affect individual clients, entire industries and global commerce. Howrey's reputation for success in state and federal courts throughout the US, the European Court of Justice, the Court of First Instance and other jurisdictions around the world is rooted in our history of, and commitment to, trial readiness.

Effective Results

Unlike most law firms, Howrey takes a "trial-ready" approach to matters. We believe that the best results come when our attorneys and clients prepare a case as if it were going to trial. This approach fosters a disciplined pretrial process focused on strategies that have a realistic chance of disposing of a case prior to trial, or of significantly narrowing and defining the issues for trial. Our trial-ready approach offers a powerful leverage with opponents – with our depth of trial experience and history of trial success, they know we are always prepared to try the case and win at verdict, if not before.
