Dilworth Paxson launches appellate strategy group
A new Appellate Strategy and Advocacy Practice Group has been launched by Dilworth Paxson LP.
This multidisciplinary team consists of 15 attorneys focused on complex appellate advocacy and issues for clients across Pennsylvania, including Harrisburg; New Jersey; the Third Circuit; and appellate courts throughout the United States.
“What differentiates our practice is the ability to pair national-caliber experience with a deep, local understanding of how matters progress through Pennsylvania and New Jersey courts,” practice group chair Timothy J. Ford said in a statement. “Appellate law is nuanced and varies across regions. Recently, we have seen a surge in cases involving commercial disputes, election law, and administrative proceedings.
“By identifying and addressing issues early, we can make a meaningful impact on outcomes for our clients.”
According to a release, Dilworth’s Appellate Strategy and Advocacy Practice Group handles appeals arising from significant and complex litigation across numerous industries and practice areas. Clients include businesses, universities, nonprofit institutions, government entities, and public officials, law firms seeking local or appellate counsel, organizations participating as amici, and individuals involved in important civil and public law matters.
The team’s experience includes commercial disputes, civil rights and class actions, election and public law matters, and administrative proceedings. Attorneys work with clients and trial teams throughout the life of a case, advising on strategy with an eye toward appeal from the outset. This includes issue identification and preservation, motion and briefing strategy, and appellate risk assessment at critical litigation stages, empowering clients to make informed decisions several steps ahead.
The group also represents clients filing amicus briefs before the U.S. Supreme Court.
