Embedded Appellate Counsel works directly with trial attorneys to ensure that complex legal issues are strategically managed from the outset of litigation through appeal. By integrating appellate expertise during pre-trial and trial stages, we help trial teams preserve critical issues for appeal, develop a strong and clean record, and minimize reversible error.
The appellate attorney collaborates closely with trial counsel on tasks such as drafting and arguing dispositive motions, crafting jury instructions, making strategic objections, and framing legal arguments with an eye toward eventual appellate review. This can be through providing second chair or on call services to providing real-time support that will strengthen trial advocacy and position each case for success on appeal, if needed.
