Winning Solutions For High-Stakes Matters.

As one of the nation's premier litigation firms, Thomas Whitelaw prides itself on its hunger to win. And, to win big. We earned our reputation for success through hard-fought trials, mediations and strategic settlements.

A high-stakes real estate dispute presents an example of Thomas Whitelaw's approach. We defended a city against claims for breach of a ground lease, fraud and inverse condemnation. Not only did we obtain summary judgment in our client's favor dismissing all claims, we then went to trial on the city's cross-complaint, forcing a settlement valued at $50 million in favor of the city.

Or again, when our client brought suit against a Fortune 50 agribusiness. We landed a very favorable settlement in this patent onwership and trade secret action in which the defendant transferred ownership of the disputed food technology patents and entered into a highly advantageous co-packing agreement with our client as part of the settlement. We achieve these results by pouring ourselves into each case. First, we understand the unique intricacies of each client and matter. Then, through our collaborative approach, we develop and execute winning solutions for high-stakes matters - from discovery to trial to appeal - both in state and federal courts.

Not only do we win big, but we do it with consideration for delivering value to clients. In this difficult economic environment, we understand that in-house counsel are asked no only to win, but to do so effciently. At Thomas Whitelaw, we work with clients to develop situation-specific billing arrangements. We utilize state-of-the-art electronic ducment management technologies that allows us to store, retrieve and search electronic data in the mose efficient manner. We provide our clients password-protected access to all electronic documents, which allows us to partner with our clients on a real time basis to manage large cases effectively.

Another key to delevering value is efficient lawyer staffing. At Thomas Whitelaw, our business is not driven by leverage. To staff a case, we judiciously team seasoned partners with highly experienced senior associates based on client needs, attorney expertise and relevant trial or specialized experience. We have no associates-in-training. As a result, all our lawyers are experienced. Our seasoned associates and paralegals, cherry-picked from national firms, round out the teams to create efficiencies, not hourly charge overloads.

Thomas Whitelaw has earned its coveted reputation for providing its clients with winning solutions for litigating high-stakes matters.
