DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND STRUCTURE
Our U.S. Litigation Practice provides clients with a full-service offering, with a deep bench. Our growing Litigation Practice serves clients in disputes, financial institutions litigation, regulatory and white collar defense, antitrust, internal investigations and special investigations for boards, securities litigation, corruption investigations and litigation related to regulatory compliance, intellectual property, and professional liability.
Our intellectual property team supports the world's leading businesses to invest in and protect global intellectual property portfolios, and is a growing team in the U.S. With over 120 specialist IP partners and associates worldwide, A&O Shearman offers an integrated, cross-border service to help clients dealing with the opportunities and threats brought by globalization and technology.
Many of our IP lawyers come from a science, technology, or an engineering background and have a deep understanding of the sectors in which our clients operate. This is combined with our leading antitrust, arbitration, employment and regulatory experience, and one of the largest international networks of any law firm.
One of our key differentiators in the U.S. is the truly integrated nature of the advice we give, and our U.S. IP Litigation team is at the forefront of the cross-border expertise that makes A&O Shearman stand out. Successfully managing risks requires an understanding of both the technical legal requirements of multiple jurisdictions, the investigative methods used by government regulators and criminal prosecutors, and the practical concerns of our clients.
