Practices

Global Litigation



With 17 offices around the world, Howrey is well-positioned to serve our clients in any country, in any court and in any litigation matter.
The National Law Journal recognized Howrey's "impressive track record" for "exemplary, cutting-edge" defense work and "positioning overseas for an impending globalized litigation culture."
The Global Litigation practice focuses primarily in the areas of Commercial Litigation and Trial; Securities Litigation, Government Enforcement and White Collar Defense; Insurance Recovery; Construction; Environmental, Product and Tort Litigation; Consumer Litigation and Class Actions; Government Contracts; Appellate; and International Arbitration and Alternate Dispute Resolution.

By reviewing the scope of Howrey's Global Litigation practice, including the backgrounds, accomplishments and experience of our individual attorneys, and the complexity of the cases we handle, the strength and breadth of our practice will come into focus.

Howrey attorneys are "In Court Every Day" not just litigating, but trying cases involving precedent-setting legal issues that affect individual clients, entire industries and global commerce. Howrey's reputation for success in state and federal courts throughout the US, the European Court of Justice, the Court of First Instance and other jurisdictions around the world is rooted in our history of, and commitment to, trial readiness.

Our Global Litigation group’s proven ability to work seamlessly across all practice areas and global offices is a core strength. Our global strategies for international companies dealing in significant litigation matters around the world is a powerful advantage for Howrey clients.

Effective Results

Unlike most law firms, Howrey takes a "trial-ready" approach to matters. We believe that the best results come when our attorneys and clients prepare a case as if it were going to trial. This approach fosters a disciplined pretrial process focused on strategies that have a realistic chance of disposing of a case prior to trial, or of significantly narrowing and defining the issues for trial. Our trial-ready approach is a powerful bargaining chip with opponents; they know we are prepared to stand up in court and fight for our clients.
