NP Trial®

Disputes are disruptive and costly. Many are often won or lost before they ever see the inside of a courthouse. While some firms possess litigators, few offer experienced and proven trial attorneys that keep clients trial-ready for any challenge. Nixon Peabody’s Trial team (NP Trial) has the diverse bench strength, comprehensive capabilities, and experience required to protect clients every step of the way, from early case assessment to verdict.

Starting on day one, our clients are paired with courtroom veterans who have a proven record of success trying cases to verdict in some of the most challenging venues. Our dedicated trial team provides early input on case strategy and contributes to the client’s case through all aspects of the life cycle until the matter is resolved. The unique approach of NP Trial not only keeps clients protected in and out of the courtroom, it offers the most efficient and effective means possible to reach a successful outcome—so our clients can get back to business.

The NP Trial team

Our NP Trial team includes some of the most respected and experienced trial attorneys in the profession who know what it takes to win at trial and arbitration. Collectively, this team has tried or arbitrated to a final decision hundreds of cases covering the full spectrum of commercial, civil, and criminal matters representing clients in significant one-off cases as well as aggregated liability cases involving thousands of plaintiffs. We approach each case holistically as if it might go to trial, giving clients the best strategy for winning on their terms, whether the case is ultimately resolved at trial or by settlement. By introducing seasoned trial attorneys early on in the engagement, our lawyers often uncover angles and strategic opportunities missed by those who lack similar trial experience.

The NP Trial team provides added value every step of the way—not just at trial.

  • Early case assessment: Anticipates trial effects and outcomes and offers protection against costly backtracking should the case ultimately go to trial
  • Forum and venue analysis: Results in recommendations on the most cost-effective alternative dispute resolutions, including what course of action to take and where it should be held
  • Checkpoint consultation: Provides a system of checks and balances through periodic client discussions to support the best strategy for winning on our clients’ terms, whether the decision is to go to trial, mediate, or settle
  • Trial to verdict: Delivers swift, effective, and innovative high-quality representation throughout trial, placing our clients in the best position for a successful outcome
  • Appeals: Offers the ability and resources to challenge, modify, or affirm decisions
