Appellate
The attorneys at O’Neil Cannon understand the unique demands of high-stakes appellate practice. Our attorneys handle appeals for clients in a variety of cases, including cases involving constitutional, banking, employment, environmental, insurance, construction, personal injury and product liability, corporate and commercial, and tax issues. We have successfully handled appeals at all levels of the appellate process in both state and federal courts, as well as petitions for extraordinary relief. O’Neil Cannon has also partnered with other firms in major complex cases, providing a valuable perspective and critical review of the issues and arguments in the case.
The firm offers a full range of appellate services. We develop legal arguments at the early stages of litigation and pursue them on appeal with the benefit of a sound trial court record. At the appellate stage, we draft all the necessary notices, petitions, motions, and writs, and prepare persuasive and well reasoned briefs on the relevant issues. In addition, anticipating the possibility of appellate review further down the road, we provide expertise on legal, statutory, and regulatory issues to attorneys in our corporate practice group to assess potential outcomes of transactions, evaluate threatened litigation, and help our clients avoid or prevail in litigation involving tax, real estate, and other corporate matters.
