Boies Schiller Flexner LLP

Boies Schiller Flexner is a litigation-focused firm whose work includes trials, international arbitration, business disputes and crisis advice. It represents both plaintiffs and defendants, an important distinction from practices built primarily around one side of commercial litigation. Its own overview describes preparing cases from the outset with the possibility of trial in mind.

That approach involves developing the factual record and identifying arguments that can support either a negotiated resolution or a courtroom strategy. The firm also advises clients on the commercial costs and risks of a dispute. Its work extends across industries and can involve proceedings in more than one jurisdiction.

Boies Schiller Flexner's offices in the United States, London and Italy support this international disputes practice. The firm describes assembling teams across those locations according to the needs of a matter. Its defining emphasis is therefore on contentious work and trial preparation, with arbitration and strategic advice as related parts of the practice, rather than a broad menu of unrelated transactional services.
