Our Approach

Business disputes are inevitable. How they are handled is the variable. More than seven decades after the firm was founded by litigators, Arent Fox maintains one of the most comprehensive Complex Litigation practices in the country.

At Arent Fox, litigation cases are managed strategically and efficiently to ensure we meet our clients’ business objectives. At every step, we evaluate the risks and rewards so clients can make an informed decision.  

Armed with more than 150 litigators, we have argued and defended thousands of civil and criminal cases in both federal and state courts across the country and regulatory agencies and arbitral tribunals around the globe.

In particular, the group is known for its ability to manage parallel civil and criminal litigation in multiple jurisdictions. We assess each phase and coordinate our strategy to take into account the implications of cases that often involve multiple parties, jurisdictions, government entities, and federal and state laws.

Our clients include blue chip names across a range of industries and the results have not gone unnoticed. The firm has been recognized by leading publications that include the American Lawyer, Legal 500, and U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Law Firms.”
