Litigation

Overview

Since its founding in 1845, Robinson+Cole has been recognized for its trial practice. Today, nearly a third of the our lawyers engage in trial work across a far-ranging variety of areas, with the geographic reach of our practice meeting the regional, national, and global nature of our clients' operations. Our trial practice combines the substantial resources of a large firm with the depth of trial experience, efficient staffing, and responsiveness of a trial boutique.  

Our Services and Our Team

At a time when courtroom opportunities have dwindled, our trial lawyers have the experience to take cases to trial, whether the venue is federal court, state court, or arbitration. That experience continues post-trial, with our lawyers taking appeals in courts throughout the country, including the United States Supreme Court. Our lawyers employ cutting-edge project management and e-discovery tools and advanced technology to enhance our legal services. We offer a host of services across the litigation spectrum, including in these areas:

  • antitrust and trade regulation
  • business disputes
  • class action defense
  • data privacy and cybersecurity
  • employment
  • ERISA benefits
  • financial institutions and financial services
  • government enforcement and white-collar defense
  • health care 
  • intellectual property
  • insurance
  • life, health, and disability
  • product liability
  • real estate and title insurance
  • securities

Two of our partners have achieved the pinnacle of peer recognition in the industry with their induction into the American College of Trial Lawyers. Many more of our trial lawyers are listed in Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for BusinessThe Best Lawyers in America ®, Super Lawyers®, and Benchmark Litigation. Our lawyers are active participants in the most relevant professional organizations, at the federal and state levels.

      • Performed an internal investigation for an energy company in response to allegations made by a state regulatory agency related to fraud, dishonesty, and misconduct in connection with multi-million dollar incentive program. The investigation involved the collection of over a terabyte of electronic data and extensive corresponding witnesses interviews.
