Alston & Bird attorneys in 2014 won a case before the U.S. Supreme Court and two jury trials that secured more than $200 million for clients. These matters highlighted a year in which the firm represented more than 40 Fortune 500 companies in all sorts of litigation areas—class actions, securities, products liability, environmental regulation and torts.
It was a year for which the firm captured the Daily Report's Overall Litigation Department of the Year award.
“We look at litigation as one tool for solving a business case,” says James Grant, a national co-leader of the firm's seven litigation practice groups. “In some cases, litigation is a tool to an end. We don't litigate for litigation's sake. We see what our clients are wanting to achieve and we have a candid conversation gauging the value and the risk. And then we proceed accordingly.”
