Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals

Federal Appellate Argument

Argued before the Seventh Circuit — the highest federal court in the region. Every trial record built with appellate standards from the first document in the case. An attorney who has argued before the Seventh Circuit sees a case differently from the moment they open the file.

Civil RICO · Federal District Court

The Most Demanding Federal Litigation

Civil RICO requires more rigorous factual development, more precise analytical structure, and more sustained strategic discipline than virtually any other area of civil practice. The skills it demands — pattern recognition, enterprise analysis, anticipating defense strategy — apply directly to how complex injury files are built.

Chicago Bears · Civil Matter

Major Institutional Defense

Litigated a civil matter against one of the country's most prominent professional sports franchises across multiple litigation stages. Navigated the full institutional defense apparatus. Settled.

Delaware Chancery · International

Pro Hac Vice · Global Matters

Admitted pro hac vice in Delaware Chancery Court for matters spanning multiple countries, jurisdictions, and legal systems. The analytical discipline of international commercial litigation applied to every file.
