Firm Overview
Sperling & Slater is one of the nation’s preeminent litigation “boutiques.” In a day when law firm mergers are becoming ever more common, with larger and larger firms attempting to balance their litigation practices with various other, non-litigation work, we remain, by choice, a tightly-knit group of lawyers focused on the kinds of matters that were the reason for founding the firm in the first place: complex business disputes, pending in courtrooms across the nation, and requiring experienced, creative, dedicated advocates. Many of our twelve partners have been practicing together for decades; in fact, the firm’s size and character foster a creative exchange of ideas among both partners and associates that benefits all our clients. And we are more than able to bring the appropriate force to bear when necessary. We regularly find ourselves litigating – successfully – against or with firms many times our size in major cases requiring significant resources.
We are often hired to initiate or defend high-stakes litigation by clients of all sizes, from individual entrepreneurs to Fortune 500 companies. In addition, attorneys from the country’s most prestigious large law firms regularly call on us to represent them or their clients in important, bet-the-company disputes. Frequently we serve as lead counsel in multiple, related cases involving numerous co-parties – and opponents. And we know how to win at trial, in arbitration, and on appeal. The firm has achieved superior results in the courtroom in all areas of complex business litigation, including (to name just a few) securities, antitrust, bankruptcy and insolvency, employment and intellectual property.
The Firm has also achieved exceptional results outside the courtroom. There is a time to be aggressive, but there is also a time to be diplomatic, and our excellent reputation as trial lawyers has often helped our clients secure swift and favorable settlements. We have the intellect and drive to successfully battle in court, but also the judgment to know when and how to make peace. By understanding our clients’ interest and the interests of others, including co-defendants, insurers and opponents, and by being fully prepared to succeed at trial, we get the results which our clients expect.
