Appellate

Russ August & Kabat has a premier Appellate Practice that represents clients at every appellate level, including the United States Supreme Court, federal and state courts of appeals, and agency review boards.  

Our deep bench of first-chair appellate litigators leverages a wealth of diverse experience to deliver critical appellate wins in the most complex cases. Our appellate litigators have successfully handled numerous appellate matters across a wide range of substantive areas, including IP, antitrust, healthcare, product liability, and environmental law. They also have clerked at the Federal Circuit, Ninth Circuit, Third Circuit, and Delaware Court of Chancery. And their combined Federal Circuit track record is one of the most prolific and successful in the country—over 150 appeals, dozens of arguments, and victories in high-profile pharmaceutical, computer, and mechanical cases (including several with billions of dollars at stake).

Our team-centered approach to appellate litigation also sets us apart and sets our clients up for success. Unlike typical big-law appellate specialists, our appellate litigators deliver the most effective results for our clients by seamlessly integrating with trial teams at the district court and agency levels to ensure that the most important issues in a case are already fully presented and preserved before an appeal is even filed. That approach also creates efficiencies that can allow us to provide the highest level of appellate service while meeting our clients’ evolving financial needs.
