Our Practice

For decades, Morgan’s Litigation Department has been the first choice for defending and prosecuting the highest profile litigation of our time. Our strength and success as trial lawyers, our credibility with government officials and regulators, and our record of courtroom victories and creative out-of-court resolutions set us apart from our peers.

We are known first and foremost as trial lawyers, with the experience and confidence to see cases through to the end, especially when the stakes are high. We regularly take on the most skilled adversaries, winning landmark cases across the country, handling arbitrations here and abroad, and achieving victories on appeals. Our litigators have tried and argued cases in virtually every forum, from state and federal trial and appellate courts, to U.S. Bankruptcy Courts and the Delaware Court of Chancery, international arbitration panels and mediators, and from the US, to administrative courts of all kinds. Wherever and whenever we defend our clients, we prepare to play the long game. We are always ready to go to trial, but we also use our preparation and reputation to reach favorable settlements and minimize regulatory risks.

Corporations, financial services and private equity firms, investors and top executives also turn to Morgan’s Litigation Department when threatened with serious government investigations and enforcement actions. We have unique experience in managing the behind-the-scenes interaction between competing regulators and law enforcement agencies, having navigated and resolved some of the most important regulatory issues in the last few decades. Our litigants include former senior officials from the US Department of Justice, the White House, the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the US Department of the Treasury, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the US Federal Trade Commission and the New York State Attorney General’s office.

The Litigation Department is also widely recognized for its extensive experience and sensitive handling of internal investigations; We are often among the first called in highly tense situations where boards and corporations face intense public and regulatory scrutiny.
