At Hollingsworth LLP, our clients call upon us to solve their toughest litigation problems nationwide.
About us
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.

Hollingsworth LLP partners Grant Hollingsworth and Brett Covington authored an article for Bloomberg Law that discusses the importance of drafting arbitration agreements to include certain key provisions, which can avoid costly litigation. A well-written and up-to-date mandatory arbitration clause is critical to protecting your company; otherwise, you may be trapped in unnecessarily complex and protracted litigation. As the U.S. Supreme Court stated in May in Coinbase, Inc. v. Suski, “the first question in any arbitration dispute must be: What have these parties agreed to?” #arbitration #LitigationMatters

In an article written for Law360, Hollingsworth LLP attorneys Matt Malinowski, Gary Feldon, and Sebastian Ovalle discuss how the increased attention paid to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in recent years has resulted in an uptick in PFAS-related lawsuits — including claims based on defendants' alleged failures to disclose PFAS in consumer products. #pfas #LitigationMatters

Congratulations to the Hollingsworth LLP team of Dina Truncali and Annie Czyzewski Farr, supervised by Tamara Barago, who with the assistance of Tahirih Justice Center secured asylum for our pro bono client. #LitigationMatters
A great win for our client “Trudy” in her asylum grant at immigration court! Her case was a compelling one with some challenges: While in her home country, she participated in a political protest against a powerful government official and was then kidnapped and abused for weeks as retaliation. While she was able to escape, her family was persecuted as well. Trudy fled to the United States and (prior to counsel involvement) applied for asylum. Unfortunately, her trauma from her persecution was so intense that the interview did not go as planned and she was referred to immigration court for removal proceedings. Tahirih Justice Center attorney Cathleen Carlson, volunteer attorney Veronique Silverman, and our partners at Hollingsworth LLP, including Tamara Barago, Dina Truncali, and Ann Czyzewski Farr worked tirelessly for Trudy and supported her so she could speak her truth. After a four-hour trial, the immigration judge granted Trudy asylum! Trudy is now able to pursue her pursue her studies and career ambitions. Thank you, Hollingsworth LLP, for your wonderful pro bono service to help Trudy achieve this significant victory!

Hollingsworth LLP partner Gary Feldon was interviewed by Law.com for a recent story that took a deep-dive into the statistics of MDLs, what those statistics really mean, and the potential impact of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16.1. “Individual MDLs can get big enough to really sway the entire federal judiciary, and I don’t think 3M is going to be the last one,” Feldon said. “I don’t know what the next one will be, or when it will happen, but the overall trend certainly suggests we’ll be seeing more MDLs and larger MDLs than we have in the past.” #mdl #federalruleofcivilprocedure #frcp #LitigationMatters

Hollingsworth LLP partner Eric Lasker served as Editor of an important new resource on the FRE 702 Amendment, a comprehensive federal Circuit-by-Circuit guide providing a quick reference to help relegate “wayward caselaw” to the dustbin of legal history and clear the field for the proper application of Rule 702 moving forward. In amending the Rule, the Advisory Committee explained that a large body of existing case law was wrongly decided. Published by IADC, the new guide provides a Circuit-by-Circuit listing of this overruled case law, with a discussion of how each case runs afoul of the language of the new Rule. #FRE #Rule702 #IADC #litigationmatters https://lnkd.in/e9u69DKW Circuit-by-Circuit Guide: https://lnkd.in/eYcTRCtu

The New York Times quoted Hollingsworth LLP partner Gary Feldon in an article regarding the recent Chevron decision and how states like Utah are directing agriculture and environmental agencies to identify federal rules carried out in the state that might be vulnerable under a ruling that limits the Chevron precedent. “I don’t know that anybody is doing it quite as systemically as the state of Utah seems to be, but industry and businesses are certainly aware that we are on the edge of a major shift,” Feldon said. “And the savvy among them are making sure that they’re in position to take advantage of it now.” #chevron #loperbright #auer #scotus #litigationmatters https://lnkd.in/eRdKye_t
