Our team has advocated before state appellate courts, U.S. Courts of Appeals across the country, and the U.S. Supreme Court. In addition, we actively represent amicus curiae in appeals affecting their industries and interests. Whiteford’s appellate attorneys are known for persuasive, clear writing and effective oral advocacy.
Whiteford’s appellate advocates regularly counsel trial teams before judgment on major issues, dispositive motions, and appellate strategy by providing case analysis, assistance with identifying and preserving key arguments, and effective briefing.
Our appellate team also represents parties seeking relief from state and federal administrative actions through both intra-agency processes involving federal Administrative Law Judges and state hearing officers and in seeking judicial relief from the courts.
Whether at trial, after judgment is entered, or agency action is taken, our appellate team advises clients on overcoming procedural obstacles to review, the likelihood of success on specific arguments, and overall appellate strategy, in addition to briefing and arguing on appeal.
