Appellate Litigation

Respected for its litigation prowess, UB Greensfelder’s appellate practice represents clients in appellate courts nationwide. Our team approach combines the skills of trial and appellate lawyers in prominent cases involving significant financial exposure or critical legal issues.

Who We Are

Our attorneys have handled numerous cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Courts of Appeals, and various state appellate courts. We call on the experience of both business and litigation attorneys – including attorneys with experience in commercial, product liability, antitrust, and constitutional litigation – to ensure that all aspects of a matter are thoroughly analyzed. Our appellate practice extends to clients the firm has represented in trial court proceedings and clients seeking new counsel at the appellate level.

How We Help

Before a case goes to appeal, members of the appellate litigation team assist the firm’s trial lawyers in analyzing affirmative defenses and legal strategic issues and preparing various motions and documentation. They also perform the critical function of identifying substantial legal issues and preserving those issues for appellate review.

Our attorneys regularly:

  • Identify and evaluate the most compelling arguments on appeal through comprehensive analysis of the trial proceedings
  • Review and draft appellate briefs
  • Handle appeals before various regulatory agencies
  • Act as trusted advisors to our clients, providing recommendations and assistance with appellate issues both during and after trial
