We do not litigate.

Because of our involvement with national professional organizations we can identify and work easily with local counsel for state law questions on which we do not opine.

We frequently work with our client's general counsel.

Expert Witnesses

In limited circumstances we can serve as expert witnesses or consult on the viability of defense arguments on the topics on which we focus. Ask us about that if you have an interest.

  • Laboratories
