Benchmark Litigation Lists Caplin & Drysdale’s Complex Litigation Group for Sixth Consecutive
WASHINGTON, D.C. — October 2, 2015: Marking its sixth consecutive year in Benchmark Litigation, Caplin & Drysdale is pleased to announce that the firm’s Complex Litigation Group is listed among a select group of U.S. law firms and lawyers who consistently handle complex, high-stakes commercial litigation. Benchmark Litigation’s 2016 edition lists the Group as “recommended” in the District of Columbia. A firm client commenting on their experience with the Group said “I would think the highest compliment I could pay [Caplin & Drysdale] is when my law firm needed counsel for an internal law firm dispute, we chose Caplin & Drysdale as counsel.”
Earning “local litigation star” status for their contributions to the litigation bar are Members Peter Van N. Lockwood and Trevor W. Swett III. This category reveals they are repeatedly recommended in the D.C. area as reputable and effective litigators by in-house counsel clients and by peers at the nation’s leading law firms. Named “future stars” are Members Jeffrey A. Liesemer, Kevin C. Maclay, and James P. Wehner who are regularly referenced by clients and peers as litigators who are likely to become “local litigation stars” in future editions of the guide.
Mr. Swett remarked, “Our team is comprised of highly-skilled trial and bankruptcy lawyers who handle business, financial, and commercial disputes. To be acknowledged by our clients and peers as leaders In our field is, of course, extremely gratifying, and illustrates our ongoing commitment to offering our clients superior representation.”
Caplin & Drysdale‘s Complex Litigation Group has a reputation as a powerhouse in matters involving creditors’ committees, corporate restructuring, and commercial litigation. Its emphasis on close communications with clients, relatively lean staffing, and hands-on involvement by senior litigators, are keys to the Group’s success in delivering legal services of the highest quality at excellent value.
