Litigation

BTI calls us one of “the most feared law firms in litigation,” as well as a top firm in five categories covering intellectual property, employment, and commercial litigation. We have been named "Litigation Department of the Year" by The Legal Intelligencer in Philadelphia and the New Jersey Law Journal, and 50 of our litigators are ranked as leading lawyers by Chambers USA. Across practice areas, we are fluent in the latest case law, on top of cutting-edge issues and trends, and fully focused on helping clients achieve their goals while reducing unpredictability.

We have extensive trial experience and have won both plaintiff and defense verdicts before juries, judges, and arbitrators in difficult, high-stakes cases. Our accomplished appellate lawyers have achieved numerous successes in appeals of cases handled at the trial level either by our firm or by other firms. We often handle cases involving preliminary injunctions and other emergency relief.

We coordinate closely with our clients in risk assessment and evaluate threatened or filed lawsuits to determine whether a prompt resolution or dismissal is feasible. If not, we proceed to litigate the case in an aggressive yet cost-effective manner. We have the ability to devote substantial resources to major matters as well as the case management expertise to effectively employ lean staffing, utilizing lawyers with the requisite experience, skill sets, and seniority.

Cost efficiencies also are achieved by the use of state-of-the-art case management support and technology resources. Our litigators consult with clients at every step of the way during a lawsuit, always mindful of the underlying business implications and litigation risks. Our overriding objective in every case is to secure a prompt and favorable outcome that meets the client's needs while minimizing burden, inconvenience, and expense.
