Mayer Brown’s more than 45 appellate lawyers have argued over 220 cases before the United States Supreme Court, representing either parties or amici in approximately 15 cases each Term for the past several years, and arguing an average of four per Term. In addition, our lawyers have argued hundreds of cases in federal and state appellate courts across the nation.

Chambers USA and Legal 500 US have again recognized our Supreme Court & Appellate group's preeminence in the field: for the fourth year in a row, both Chambers USA and Legal 500 US rank us as a top tier practice, with Chambers noting that our “stellar appellate practice is an outstanding choice for complex, high-stakes cases.” The publications' comments illustrate Mayer Brown's dominance in the field of appellate advocacy.

Chambers USA says that Mayer Brown has “[i]ncredibly smart, creative lawyers who are constantly involved in important work, and are cost-conscious at all times.”
Legal 500 US notes, “This ‘excellent’ and ‘very deep’ team[‘s]…‘bench strength is a never-ending parade of the best and the brightest’, including four former deputy solicitors general, and three former assistants to the solicitor general.”

Clients interviewed by Legal 500 US call Mayer Brown an "analytical powerhouse" and "praise the practice for being 'unbelievably responsive and client-oriented,' and for 'advancing reasonable business interests.'"

Chambers USA observes that our “broad assembly of talented advocates is well known for its sophisticated work across a range of areas and disciplines, including securities, antitrust, IP, environmental and tax."

Clients expressed to Legal 500 US that Mayer Brown's Supreme Court and Appellate attorneys are "master strategists," and the "best at what they do - high-quality appeals'."

Also, for the third year in a row, the National Law Journal named Mayer Brown to its "Appellate Hot List," recognizing firms that practice "exemplary, cutting-edge appellate advocacy."
