WilmerHale has a focus on consumer finance, with work covering consumer disclosures, overdraft fees, and arbitration. The team specializes in consumer class actions and has represented clients including financial institutions, credit card issuers, and major banks before regulatory bodies such as the US Supreme Court, federal and state courts of appeals, and trial courts. Leading the practice is Franca Harris Gutierrez, who is based in New York. Other central members of the team include New York-based Noah Levine – whose expertise relates to the defense of consumer class actions under federal banking statutes and antitrust laws, appellate litigation, commercial litigation, and IP – and Alexandra Hiatt – who concentrates on complex litigation matters.

United States > Dispute resolution > General commercial disputes

WilmerHale routinely handles commercial litigation at all levels of the state and federal court systems. Sector expertise across finance, tech, and life sciences is a defining characteristic of the team’s ‘deep bench of super smart, experienced, and highly respected litigators’, who have also carved out a niche in credit reporting litigation. Boston’s John Butts chairs the group and devotes much of his practice to cases involving business torts, trade secret, and contract disputes as well as consumer and securities class actions. In New York, Hallie Levin is known for her work in antitrust cases, business torts, trade secrets cases, and government investigations, while Noah Levine is a key contact for class actions. Boston-based Felicia Ellsworth is highly experienced in government-facing investigations, including those brought by state Attorneys General, and appears in high-profile cases before the Supreme Court. From the Palo Alto office, ‘master strategist’ Sonal Mehta is in-demand for patent and technology disputes. Andrew Rhys Davies joined the practice from A&O Shearman in March 2023 and is praised as ‘a tremendous appellate advocate’.
