Practices

Cases that go to appeal face a new, distinct set of legal challenges, requiring a thorough understanding of the law and appellate procedure as well as the mindset of a judicial audience. Whether seeking to preserve a trial victory or overturn an adverse decision, lawyers must navigate complex appellate rules, select the right issues and arguments to advance, write briefs that focus on what matters most to appellate judges, and craft oral arguments that compel a successful outcome.

Akerman's appellate practice is a national powerhouse with demonstrated success in handling appeals related to complex commercial litigation. Our judicial background gives us deep, first-hand knowledge of appellate court proceedings and the experience necessary to structure appellate arguments simply, clearly, and effectively.
