Litigation & Appeals
Our clients rely on us to handle their courtroom, agency, and appellate advocacy - no matter how diverse. We excel in courtrooms, command hearing rooms, and persuade appellate panels throughout the Mid-Atlantic region and the East Coast.
In matters ranging from complex commercial cases to catastrophic injury lawsuits, we represent individuals, businesses, associations, and nonprofit organizations. We pride ourselves on such broad litigation experience.
While known nationally for litigating construction cases, we are equally adept in the areas of employment, labor, public contracting, corporate, collection, real estate, catastrophic injury, technology, insurance coverage, civil rights, tax and bankruptcy.
Our litigators successfully prosecute and defend complex matters through trial and appeals in the U.S. Federal Courts, Bankruptcy Courts, State and Commonwealth Courts, and Government Agencies such as the EEOC, NLRB, and Social Security Admin. We have been equally successful in alternative dispute proceedings, such as the AAA, JAMS, and other private arbitration and mediation forums.
Alternate Dispute Resolution We seek the best resolution for our clients. The firm's dispute resolution practice covers a broad spectrum of client problems from commercial and real property disputes to construction disputes, insurance coverage issues and employment and labor matters.
We stand by the philosophy that the courtroom is but one tool to resolve a problem - sometimes required but never desired. Accordingly, we intervene early in disputes and explore all alternate means to resolve a dispute without the cost and burdens that litigation may impose. We firmly believe in mediation, in varying forms, even in the most complex cases.
Additionally, outside attorneys often look to Jacoby Donner to serve as mediators and arbitrators in others' disputes. Several of the firm's attorneys are trained mediators, arbitrators, and judges pro tem. For many years the region has employed our assistance in resolving disputes.
