The litigation group brings its aggressive approach to a diverse range of cases, including product liability, governmental liability, medical malpractice, insurance coverage and bad faith, automobile liability, and toxic torts. The group works collaboratively with attorneys in the Labor and Employment and Business Departments, as lawyers defend clients from claims of discrimination, harassment, and wrongful discharge, and litigate issues arising in commercial and transactional contexts.
Working together with clients, lawyers seek a cost-effective, early resolution of every case, bearing in mind both the high cost of litigation and the risk of encouraging additional lawsuits by settling cases that should be tried. By doing so, Steptoe & Johnson has gained a reputation for providing clients with common sense advice. This reputation, coupled with a willingness to take cases to trial, allows the firm to provide clients with exemplary service.
