Litigation
For more than a century, Andrews Kurth lawyers have combined legal skill, business experience and aggressive advocacy to achieve our clients’ litigation objectives. Backed by a proven record of success at trial, our lawyers are respected for their professional demeanor, their skills in the courtroom and their integrity as advocates. A successful litigation practice isn’t only about dramatic victories at trial, however; its underpinnings are derived from a total commitment to obtaining the best and most effective resolution to a client’s litigation problems—both inside and outside the courtroom.
The more than 100 lawyers in our litigation section provide high-quality and efficient representation to clients in disputes. We work closely with clients to achieve the best results while keeping our eye on the budget and finding ways to reduce cost. Although we have the experience and bench strength to handle large, complex litigation matters, we are known for not overstaffing cases or “over lawyering” projects. While we are always mindful of the advantages of early mediation and arbitration, when trial is necessary we prepare the case and try it to verdict. And we do it with some of the finest trial lawyers in the country.
Our litigators are included in the ranks of Chambers USA, The American College of Trial Lawyers, The International Academy of Trial Lawyers, The Best Lawyers in America (Commercial, Tort, Medical Malpractice, Bankruptcy, Personal Injury and Civil Litigation) and Who’s Who in American Law.
