Oral Arguments by Mayer Brown Attorneys

Mayer Brown's Supreme Court and Appellate Practice group has a depth and breadth of Supreme Court experience without equal in the private bar. In the past decade alone, twelve different lawyers in the group have presented oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court. These include four former Deputy Solicitors General  -- Andrew Frey, Steve Shapiro, Kenneth Geller, and Philip Lacovara -- and three former Assistants to the Solicitor General -- Dan Himmelfarb, Andrew Pincus and Charles Rothfeld. In total, current members of the group have argued more than 200 cases in the Supreme Court.

The lawyers in our Supreme Court and Appellate Practice group also regularly appear in the federal courts of appeals as well as in state appellate courts across the country.

The cases argued by Mayer Brown lawyers represent a wide array of legal issues important to the business community in such areas as labor and employment law, antitrust, class actions, bankruptcy, federal preemption of product liability claims, and punitive damages. Our lawyers have also argued criminal and habeas cases, as well as cases raising issues of constitutional law and federal jurisdiction.
