Litigation & Dispute Resolution

The nature and complexity of disputes may differ, but the enterprises engaged in them have a common need: to resolve them with maximum speed and a minimum of resources. At Nixon Peabody, we never lose sight of the fact that disputes are disruptive and costly to our clients, and it is our responsibility to find the most efficient means possible to reach a positive outcome and help them get back to business.

More than a third of Nixon Peabody’s lawyers are litigators. We have decades of experience representing clients at every level of the judicial system; in international forums; and in mediation, arbitration, and other methods of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). We help our clients manage virtually all forms of disputes, from relatively simple matters to highly complex cases in products liability, class actions, patent infringement, antitrust, and securities.

Our approach is governed by our clients’ best interests. We have a track record of fending off claims, often saving companies millions of dollars in payouts. We only try cases that should be tried, and aggressively seek alternative solutions when they should not. Nixon Peabody is allied with the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution, which has trained our attorneys and named Nixon Peabody its leading law firm for a complete dispute resolution approach.

In the courtroom, our mix of moxie and efficiency has earned Nixon Peabody a reputation for providing fearless and pragmatic counsel to clients across the U.S. and abroad. Our seasoned trial lawyers have successfully tried cases to verdict in some of the most difficult venues.

We keep clients in the decision-making loop throughout the process to ensure that legal decisions and business decisions are compatible—from early evaluation, to strategy development and budgeting. We staff cases leanly, but have a deep bench that enables us to quickly organize multidisciplinary teams of litigators when necessary.
