Often litigation does not end at the trial level. Protecting a victory or overturning an unjust decision may be as important to the ultimate success of a litigation as effective trial representation.

Becker Meisel has established a talented and highly sophisticated appellate practice. The Litigation Group includes a number of former law clerks and counsel experienced in handling complex appellate matters. The experience and skill of these attorneys permits the Litigation Group to assess the viability of appeals, evaluate the record established at trial, dissect the applicable statutory or common law, identify the most powerful appellate theme, and articulate the theme in briefs and oral argument before the appellate court.

Even at the trial level, trial counsel must prepare a case with an eye toward a potential appeal. The Litigation Group takes a comprehensive approach to all litigation. The Group's trial counsel consults with appellate counsel to construct the case at trial and mold it for potential appeal.
