Hueston Hennigan LLP > Firm Profile

Described by Chambers USA as a “the perfect litigation boutique” and the “Go-to firm for bet-the-farm litigation”, Hueston Hennigan LLP is “enjoying meteoric success”.

Since Hueston Hennigan opened its doors in 2015, it has established itself as a top, nationally recognized trial boutique known for finding a way to win in the highest-stakes litigation, trials and white-collar defense cases.

Our lawyers approach cases differently than most litigation firms: from day one, we treat each matter as though it will go to trial. This emphasis on trial readiness inspires us to bring creative strategies to each matter. By developing a deep understanding of the facts, the context, and the law relevant to each case, we can aggressively litigate without relying on a rule book. Our focused preparation and forceful posture in the first 90 days help us achieve the most successful and cost-effective outcomes for our clients.

This approach works because we don’t function like a traditional, hierarchal law firm. Instead, we train our teams to think like “outside GCs.” Since each client is a firm client, not a client of any individual partner, every lawyer is focused on comprehensively, creatively, and collaboratively solving their clients’ unique problems.

Based in California and practicing nationwide, our more than 60 lawyers hail from the most selective law schools and clerkships, are veterans of prominent national law firms. Some have joined us after distinguished national careers in public service. Our attorneys have collectively participated in over 150 trials, and our partners are recognized as among the country’s top trial lawyers. At trial, our diverse teams reflect the profiles of our juries.

Former judicial clerks bring real-world experience and superior research skills to their work, seamlessly stepping into positions of significant responsibility. We offer competitive bonuses and credit for time spent clerking and encourage current or prospective clerks to apply.
