Overview
Litigation, collaboration, customization
Successful litigation requires a deep and current understanding of a client's industry and strong relationships with regulatory, legislative and enforcement officials—as well as the ability, experience and confidence to take complex matters to trial.
Manatt's philosophy is simple: first, understand the client's business strategy and objectives, then aggressively, efficiently and effectively assert or defend their interests.
We create a strategy that is calibrated to your specific needs, risks, goals and budget. We are guardians of your interests beyond the courtroom—your reputation, your business and your expectations. Litigation is about achieving the best outcome for the client inside and outside the courtroom.
Multitalented and effective
We adjust our tactics to the needs of the case. We handle cases that dominate the headlines and lead to months-long trials, and others that we resolve discreetly and quickly. Some matters urgently require aggressive advocacy; others demand prudence.
One size does not fit all. We tailor our team and strategy expressly for you—providing the right combination of aggressive, creative trial lawyers and professionals who know your industry.
Winning
If disputes cannot be resolved and we do go to trial, we play to win. Manatt's litigation group includes some of the top trial and appellate lawyers in the United States. In every instance, we bring a sure grasp of the issues, the forensic skills, and the strategic insights necessary to produce favorable results.
Who we work with
Our litigation team is composed of talented litigators who have learned the business imperatives of clients in highly specialized industries—consumer products, energy, entertainment, financial services, health care, real estate, and retail. We represent Fortune 100 companies and new startups alike.
