The growing appellate practice at McDermott Will & Emery LLP added seven new clients to its roster over the past year, including Astellas Pharmaceuticals, and the Electric Power Supply Association. The Washington DC-based group’s increasing activity was reflected by its recent promotion of appellate-focused lawyers Andrew Lyonsberg and Sarah Hogarth to the partnership. Among its recent key cases, the team has represented an array of multinational corporations, trade associations and financial institutions on appeals involving constitutional law, business disputes and immigration law, among other matters. Paul Hughes, who has argued before the Supreme Court nine times, co-heads the practice together with increasingly prominent next-generation partner Michael Kimberly.
