Litigation Law Firm

The global litigation law firm of Shook, Hardy & Bacon, L.L.P. (SHB) operates from nine offices throughout the United States and Europe. Founded more than a century ago by three outstanding litigators, our firm has earned a reputation as one of the leading litigation law firms in the world.

Complex litigation affects a variety of industries, and our litigation law firm has represented clients across every industry around the world, including leading automotive and aircraft companies, pharmaceutical and medical-devices manufacturers, agri-businesses, chemical companies, telecommunications providers, and tobacco and alcoholic-beverage companies.

Our familiarity with state, national and international laws makes us uniquely qualified to handle our clients’ litigation matters. The attorneys in the Class Actions & Complex Litigation Practice at our litigation law firm possess the expertise to defend complex litigation in state and federal courts, as well as those consolidated by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. We handle claims pertaining to product liability, environmental actions, consumer fraud, antitrust cases, employment discrimination, RICO, medical monitoring, personal injury and wage-and-hour disputes. Our litigation law firm is made up of trial teams that have successfully opposed motions to certify classes in nearly 50 separate cases. We also have obtained dismissals, favorable settlements and defense verdicts in dozens of punitive or certified class actions.

We draw on the firm’s extensive resources and technical infrastructure to support clients with large-scale data and document management needs. Because complex matters often involve a colossal amount of documents, SHB staffs its case management teams with attorneys who are experts in e-discovery, privilege law, and document preservation and production requirements. As a result, our litigation law firm excels at providing comprehensive plans that minimize the risks and burdens of discovery.

Not every legal issue ends in litigation. Law firm protocol at SHB focuses on our clients, and we work hard to avoid costly and time-consuming litigation. We focus on education and proactive measures to avoid litigation if possible. That being said, when a legal issue escalates to trial, there is no better qualified litigation law firm than SHB.
