Appellate
One of the first law firms to have a dedicated appellate group, Sidley now features an Appellate practice that is truly national in scope. Sidley’s appellate lawyers routinely represent clients before the United States Supreme Court, all federal courts of appeals, state supreme courts and other appellate fora. In addition, members of the Appellate practice have subject matter experience in virtually all areas of law.
Sidley has one of the preeminent Supreme Court practices in the country, and the firm’s most visible appellate cases are those in the Supreme Court. Since the Appellate practice began in 1985, Sidley lawyers have
briefed well over 100 cases on the merits before the Court and have argued more than 70 cases. Carter Phillips, who is the managing partner of the Washington, D.C. office, has argued more than 50 cases in the Supreme Court, and is recognized as one of the Court’s premier practitioners. The firm’s experience is broad and deep. Since 2000, seven other Sidley lawyers have also argued cases in the Supreme Court. The practice has been featured in
USA Today,
BusinessWeek,
The American Lawyer, the
Legal Times and
The National Law Journal.
