Boies Schiller Flexner LLP is valued for understanding clients’ ‘strategic goals on complex and intersecting issues’ during the course of high-value privacy, antitrust, energy, crypto, and cross-border disputes. The practice is led from Fort Lauderdale by Stuart Singer, a leading antitrust and appellate litigator, and Sigrid McCawley, a specialist in mass tort and product liability class actions, alongside New York’s Matthew Schwartz, who thrives in commercial disputes, white-collar matters, and parallel civil-criminal proceedings. They are supported by Washington DC’s Hamish Hume, a highly competent adviser on financial services and shareholder litigation, and New York’s Eric Brenner, who takes point on antitrust, class action, and commercial trial work, particularly in monopolization and unfair competition cases.
