Litigation is a serious undertaking. To prevail, clients need extraordinary representation inside and outside the courtroom. Michael Best & Friedrich LLP's Litigation Practice Group, with more than 70 attorneys and paralegals, provides clients with exceptional service and representation in nearly all types of litigation.

Our litigation attorneys are, first and foremost, trial attorneys. We take cases to trial and win. At the same time, we are seasoned in all aspects of pre-trial procedure and discovery, which is critical given that many cases are resolved prior to trial. Our litigators also have the skills and experience necessary to obtain successful results in arbitrations, mediations and all forms of alternative dispute resolution. We work with you to develop the appropriate staffing, both within our firm and in your legal department, based upon the substantive issues and business considerations present in each case.

Our litigation group is divided into teams of attorneys that focus their practices in specific areas. We are committed to protecting and pursuing the rights of our litigation clients, which range from nationally known corporations to smaller businesses, non-profits and other organizations.
