Focus

Litigation is ultimately about winning. Although we take great pride in our legal craft, including our written work product and our oral advocacy, we understand that it is all a means to achieving a victorious end for our clients. To reach this goal, we focus on five key elements: judgment, knowledge, attitude, preparation, and resources. That is what you will find in Levenfeld Pearlstein’s Litigation Practice Group: supremely skilled and experienced lawyers with excellent litigation judgment and specialized legal knowledge, who are dedicated to you and your case, and who will be not only superbly prepared, but better prepared than your opponents. And the results speak for themselves. Over the past two years, our lawyers successfully litigated cases worth well over $2 billion in potential liability to our clients. At Levenfeld Pearlstein, we win.

Overview

Litigation Judgment - There is no “one size fits all” approach to managing a case. Each is unique and must be analyzed on its own merits. Some cases require stealth and speed, while others require strength and endurance. Some cases should be tried to verdict, while others should be settled quickly. Our litigators understand how to evaluate these issues and determine the best strategy and tactics for your particular case.

Specific Knowledge and Experience - We believe that the days of the generalist litigator are over: our clients need specific litigation solutions to specific litigation problems. Accordingly, each of our litigators is committed to developing an in-depth knowledge and understanding of a particular subject matter and/or practice area. Indeed, many of our lawyers have significant business backgrounds and experience in the business sector, having previously worked for the industries and companies that they now represent. By matching their particularized knowledge and experience to the specific needs of our clients, we are able to ensure that each case is managed by a litigator who understands the nuances of the subject matter at issue.

Attitude - Our litigators have a profound desire to win, not because that is our job, but because that is who we are. That is the spirit that animates us. We are hungry. We are aggressive. And we are relentless.

Preparation - We are well aware that success is found where preparation meets opportunity, and we will never be “outworked” by our adversaries. At the same time, we recognize the economic realities of modern-day litigation, and we work closely with our clients to focus on those tasks that have the greatest expected value, whether at trial or in settlement. As a result, we can achieve the optimal level of preparation, while staffing our cases leanly and working efficiently to obtain the desired outcome.

Resources - We understand that technology is a great equalizer, allowing us successfully to take on complex matters against larger opponents. Not only are we committed to state-of-the-art technological resources, but we have also created a firm structure that allows us to maximize the value of our human resources. There is substantial interconnection between our practice groups -- reinforced by our technology -- such that relevant institutional knowledge and experience can be quickly disseminated and shared throughout the firm.
