Appellate Advocacy
A trial court’s adverse ruling can change everything for our clients. When walking away isn’t an option for them, it’s not an option for us. At SLG, our appellate advocacy team is dedicated to helping clients challenge adverse rulings and defend favorable ones at every level of the appellate process.
Why Choose SLG for Your Appeal?
Appeals aren’t just “another round” of litigation. They’re a specialized practice that requires a deep understanding of the law, razor-sharp analytical skills, and the ability to craft compelling arguments that resonate with appellate judges. SLG’s appellate attorneys have extensive experience across a broad spectrum of industries and legal issues, bringing a unique blend of creativity and precision to every case.
We approach every appeal by:
- Assessing the appeal’s viability: Not every unfavorable ruling should be appealed. Our team provides clear, practical advice on whether an appeal is the right move for your case.
- Crafting persuasive briefs: Appellate briefs are about more than just rehashing trial arguments – they must present the facts and the law in a way that highlights judicial error and sets the stage for reversal. Our attorneys are experts at writing concise, convincing briefs that get to the heart of the issue.
- Delivering effective oral advocacy: When it comes time to argue the case in front of a panel of judges, we know how to deliver arguments that are not only legally sound but persuasive and impactful. Our attorneys know that standing in front of an appellate panel and regurgitating their briefs is a waste of time. Instead, we focus our presentation on the most salient points, answer questions with thoughtfulness, and unflinchingly confront difficult issues.
Navigating Complex Appellate Courts
From the New Jersey Appellate Division to the New Jersey Supreme Court to the Second and Third Circuit Courts of Appeal and even the U.S. Supreme Court, SLG has the experience and track record to handle appeals at all levels. We also have extensive experience seeking interlocutory review for critical rulings that demand immediate attention before a case concludes.
Whether you’re a client looking for more experienced appellate counsel, or a law firm seeking to complement your existing legal team, SLG is prepared to stand by your side and guide you through the complex appellate process with confidence and expertise.
