Kelley Drye’s Washington, DC Litigation Practice Group offers our clients more than just superior litigation ability: we offer hands-on leadership, practical excellence, and a reputation for quality, along with innovative, keen thinking and analysis in addressing disputes on behalf of our clients.

 Retaining counsel who know the intricacies of the D.C., Maryland and Virginia state and federal courts including, notably, the Eastern District of Virginia’s “Rocket Docket,” is one of the keys to a winning litigation strategy. Expedited discovery and pre-trial procedural hurdles can bog down an out-of-town firm in lengthy and expensive litigation, with reduced hopes of winning the case. That’s why Kelley Drye Washington DC Litigation Practice Group offers experienced litigators who regularly appear in those courts, as well as before regulatory agencies and arbitration panels. We have handled litigation in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, as well as around the country, on a variety of matters, including real estate, intellectual property, insurance coverage, and other commercial disputes, and for clients that operate in multitudes of industries.

 The practices of our firm are tightly integrated, so regulatory or legislative changes that may lead one of our clients into litigation are quickly communicated and compliance measures are counseled immediately. Among the clients whom we counsel are mid-sized and large public and private corporations that are both foreign and U.S.-based and trade associations and not-for-profit organizations. Kelley Drye litigators respond immediately to develop a suitable strategy within the budget and legal objectives of our clients; using clear communication and cost management techniques to help deliver value to our clients.
