The practice group at McDermott Will & Emery LLP draws on experience handling, briefing, and arguing a wide range of appellate issues before the Supreme Court, all thirteen federal courts of appeals and numerous state appellate courts. The team's broad caseload routinely spans life sciences, IP, government regulation, tax, energy, and securities matters. Leadership is shared between Paul Hughes and Michael Kimberly. Hughes recently secured a victory for NCR Corporation when the Seventh Circuit vacated a district court decision denying a retrial in a Fair Labor Standards Act dispute. Kimberly, for his part, recently represented Houlihan Lokey before the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, which issued a decision affirming a district court’s dismissal of employee stock ownership plan claims. Andrew Lyonsberg and Sarah Hogarth are additional key contacts. All named attorneys are based in Washington, D.C.
