Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘We work with Jennifer Selendy (founder of the firm) and David Coon on complex commercial litigation matters. They are THE BEST litigation strategists and my go-to to resolve high stakes business disputes that require creative and bespoke solutions. ’
‘A team of superb senior litigators. What truly sets them apart, however, is that they have very few, if any, recurring client conflicts; therefore, they can take on almost any litigation, special counsel representation, or post-confirmation litigation trust matter. This is very rare for a firm with such stellar litigators.’
‘Kelley Cornish is highly experienced, knowledgeable bankruptcy and restructuring lawyer with the respect of the bankruptcy bar and her litigation partners.'
