Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer

Handling an array of civil and criminal appellate work, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer’s lawyers have briefed and argued high-stakes cases in federal and state courts of appeals nationwide, including SCOTUS. The team is equipped to handle the full scope of matters, with its recent cases spanning bankruptcy law, voting rights, white-collar crime and IP law, among others. A stand-out appellate specialist, Washington DC-based department head Roy Englert has argued twenty-one times before SCOTUS; he recently filed an amicus brief on behalf of ten scholars of Alabama history and the making of the modern South in a case questioning Alabama’s 2021 redistricting plan for the state’s seven seats in the House of Representatives. The group also draws on the experience of Matthew Madden, also in DC, whose practice spans trial, appellate and enforcement matters.
