Hollingsworth LLP is among the nation’s leading litigation firms. Our lawyers specialize in complex trial and appellate work. We handle any litigation challenge, but the majority of our work is for corporate clients in the areas of pharmaceutical products, medical devices, environmental, toxic torts and products liability, federal claims, financial institutions, government contracts, insurance, and white collar defense. We are called upon to solve our clients’ toughest litigation problems nationwide and, in consequence, we regularly have the lead in landmark cases and on cutting-edge litigation theories and defenses. We also host seminars for our clients, including the country’s longest running seminar on complex litigation defense. The Firm specializes in complex civil litigation and associated regulatory counseling, providing its clients with experienced attorneys capable of handling all aspects of large litigation challenges while effectively managing litigation spend in ways big firms cannot match. Our attorneys have successfully tried cases in “hellholes” across the country and on more fair playing fields as well. Our expertise extends beyond traditional litigation and counseling into innovative alternative dispute resolution in domestic and international forums. Representing some of the largest and most respected companies in a number of major industries, the Firm’s success is reflected in the favorable results obtained for its clients for over thirty years. Once again proving that “big cases don’t necessarily demand big law firms,” the Firm recently won an appeal in a novel lawsuit brought on behalf of three Ecuadorian provinces and over 2,000 individual Ecuadorian farmers by some of the same groups behind the $19.2 billion Ecuadorian court judgment against Chevron. Forbes called it “a sparkling victory” for the client “and its attorneys at the Hollingsworth firm.” In 2009, the former Spriggs & Hollingsworth became Hollingsworth LLP.
