Trials

McGuireWoods’ trial lawyers honed their skills during thousands of hours in state and federal courtrooms across the United States, where they unravel intricate financial structures, strategic transactions and business relationships — no matter how complicated or global the dispute. The team includes trial lawyers who each stood before juries dozens of times. They know how to represent clients with pride and passion and how to persuade and win.

The firm tailors legal strategies to support clients’ broader business objectives, resolving disputes involving a range of subjects, including complex commercial litigation, financial services litigation, insurance coverage litigation, securities and finance litigation, and bet-the-company cases.

When it comes to document production and review, depositions and analysis, motions and briefs, we leverage lean principles and process optimization to deliver top-tier results while minimizing costs and turnaround time.

A valuable feature for clients is the McGuireWoods Trial Team Roundtable, which provides decision-makers with a unique opportunity to benefit from our lawyers’ experience. During a dynamic and lively full-day discussion, we meet with a client to analyze and challenge assumptions, theories and defenses in the matter at hand. Rather than a mini-trial or focus group, this format connects clients with experienced McGuireWoods trial lawyers who bring fresh eyes to a case. Through the interactive experience, clients come away with creative ideas, themes and proposals for action in developing novel trial strategies that may not have been considered. Armed with these ideas, clients can determine whether to incorporate them into an effective trial strategy.

McGuireWoods’ incredible bench of true trial and appellate lawyers has handled hundreds of civil, criminal jury and bench trials. The team includes six fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers and 11 former law clerks of the U.S. Supreme Court.
