Bird, Marella, Rhow, Lincenberg, Drooks & Nessim LLP
United States 2025
Overview
Our lawyers combine extensive trial experience with proven writing ability. This balance informs our handling of cases from inception through discovery, trial, and appeal. We excel at presenting complicated fact patterns and complex business transactions in understandable and persuasive ways to juries, judges, and arbitrators. Our widely recognized trial experience and skill can greatly facilitate reaching prompt, just, and favorable pretrial settlements without the expense of a trial.
We work hard to maintain an environment where the emphasis is on excellence and experience. That emphasis has brought us partners who gained appointment to the state and federal bench, and associates who frequently come to us after clerkships with prominent federal judges. Six of our attorneys have experience as assistant United States attorneys.
Apart from their successes for clients, many members of the firm are members of the American College of Trial Lawyers or have received other peer acknowledgment of their professional performance and achievements. We hire and retain people who have demonstrated that they are capable of meeting the challenges presented by the kinds of cases we handle. The firm is proud of its record of success, its involvement in many landmark cases, and the recognition we have received within the legal community.
Our clients come from a wide range of industries and businesses. The matters for which they retain us are rooted in almost every aspect of commercial activity, from traditional contract disputes to cutting-edge intellectual property disputes. The common theme in our cases is not in their subject matter, but in the efficient and effective handling that is required. Although our cases frequently involve complex issues and high stakes, we also take pride in handling relatively small matters in a cost-effective way.
