Supreme Court & Appellate Litigation
| W&G
attorneys have briefed and argued a wide variety of cases in the
Supreme Court, including cases involving
antitrust issues, employee benefits law, tort law, criminal law, and
numerous constitutional, administrative, and communications law issues.
In the federal courts of appeals, the attorneys of our appellate group
have similarly handled both communications cases—including wireless,
common carrier, cable, and broadcast issues—and a broad array of
appeals in other substantive areas. This
breadth of experience at the highest levels of our nation's judicial
system permits W&G to preserve victories at administrative
agencies or in the trial courts and to challenge adverse decisions. Our
appellate litigators' perspective ensures that our clients are in the
best posture for appellate review. |
