Overview

Andrew & Hopkins represents corporations, financial institutions, and senior executives in commercial litigation, government investigations, and high-stakes arbitration around the world. Our litigators are first-chair trial lawyers who combine careful judgment with the willingness and capacity to try the case when settlement does not serve the client's interest.

Our Litigation practice handles the matters that most directly determine a client's reputation, market position, and bottom line. We act for plaintiffs and defendants in federal and state court, before regulatory tribunals, and in domestic and international arbitration. We are equally at home in single-issue trials and in complex, multi-jurisdictional disputes involving parallel civil, regulatory, and criminal proceedings.

Clients turn to us when the stakes are highest: bet-the-company commercial disputes, securities and shareholder litigation, complex contract and partnership disagreements, and cross-border enforcement matters. Our approach begins with a candid assessment of the client's objectives and the realistic range of outcomes, followed by a disciplined strategy that integrates trial readiness with sophisticated settlement work.
