With more than 250 attorneys in 15 offices nationwide, Ballard Spahr's Litigation Department is the firm's largest practice. We have compiled an outstanding track record of success in state and federal trial courts, appellate courts, administrative agencies, and arbitration forums.
Our Pennsylvania litigation practice draws from a deep bench of talented litigators to represent clients in cases ranging from securities class actions and contractual disputes to white collar defense and federal and state appeals. What distinguishes our submission is not just the fact that we handled top-tier cases for industry-leading clients. It’s not simply that our matters demonstrate a strong and varied bench of litigation talent, an impressive range of skill, and a demonstrated ability to innovate. What sets the Ballard submission apart is that we are not putting forward a single matter that wasn’t handled entirely by Pennsylvania litigators.
Our approach to litigation is simple and pragmatic—and it begins by identifying what success means to the client. Sometimes victory means a trial win. Other times, it means an advantageous and creative settlement or use of alternative dispute resolution. Our litigators have the skill and experience to lay out the options, create a winning strategy, and go the distance.
