Appeals, Issues & Strategy

Winning strategy and performance when it matters most.

When large stakes and reputations are on the line, clients need advocates who listen, who get it, and who deliver at the highest levels.

Led by a former assistant to the U.S. Solicitor General, we are Supreme Court lawyers first and foremost, and aggressive, creative strategists for the most pressing client needs in any context.

We handle every facet of Supreme Court litigation, from emergency stays, petitions, and merits briefing to crafting amicus briefs that get cited at argument and in opinions. We win cases in federal circuits and state supreme courts nationwide. We have successfully litigated multifaceted disputes that had us bringing challenges and defending in several different appellate courts at once. In trial courts, we help set critical strategy and author the most important motions. And we are forward-thinking, just like our clients. We work with our clients to devise the winning moves well before a case has even appeared. 

Our team includes former Supreme Court clerks, as well as scores of former clerks at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and other appellate courts across the country. We have deep experience in administrative law, representing clients in federal and state agencies and in legal challenges to agency action. The victories in billion-dollar agency disputes speak for themselves. 

We know technology companies. Our strategic advice is always informed by the firm’s market-leading technology experience.  

We care about having the very best final product. Our clients are sophisticated and innovative and hold themselves to high standards. We embrace those values and strive to manifest them in everything we write and file, whether it’s a Supreme Court brief, agency comments, or a pre-litigation white paper.

Amicus Practice

Our Amicus Capabilities

Many cases affect businesses and organizations even though they are not parties to a lawsuit. Perkins Coie often helps those nonparty companies, industry groups, and nonprofits share their perspectives with the court through amicus curiae ("friend of the court") briefs. Our amicus practice combines the extensive litigation experience and deep knowledge of our nationally renowned appellate team. We have filed hundreds of amicus briefs in state and federal trial and appellate courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States.  

In particular, we have significant experience as amicus counsel for technology companies. We have filed briefs spanning numerous issues, including provider liability under the Communications Decency Act for user-generated content; electronic communications privacy and government surveillance under relevant statutes and the Fourth Amendment; nondisclosure orders, anonymous speech, and the First Amendment; and jurisdiction and the subpoena power.
