Hollingsworth
LLP is among the nation’s leading litigation firms. For over forty years, we have focused our
practice on complex litigation matters.
We are nationally recognized as a go-to litigation firm for our work on high-stakes
cases. Our attorneys have successfully
tried cases in judicial hellholes across the country and on more fair playing
fields as well. Our appellate experience
extends to the United States Supreme Court, and we have argued extensively in
the U.S. Circuit Courts and before many state supreme and intermediate
appellate courts. Our record of success
is reflected in the many reported federal and state cases in which we have been
lead counsel.
We
handle any litigation challenge, but the majority of our work is for corporate
clients in the areas of products liability and toxic torts, environmental,
natural resource damages, pharmaceutical products and medical devices, business
interruption and commercial disputes, class-action defense, construction and
engineering, federal claims, defense and government contracts, insurance
coverage, investigations, risk management and mitigation, and white collar
defense.
Our
clients are multinational blue-chip companies, large and small domestic
businesses, and an array of directors, officers, and other individuals. We are called upon to solve our clients’
toughest litigation problems nationwide and, in consequence, we regularly have
the lead in landmark cases and on cutting-edge litigation theories and
defenses. Because we have the tenacity
and skill to win at trial and on appeal, we increase the likelihood of
successful resolution at earlier stages of a case as well. We offer efficiencies unmatched at larger
general practice firms and depth and experience unmatched at boutiques.
We independently advance our
clients’ interests through our memberships in, among others, American Law
Institute, Atlantic Legal Foundation, Chesapeake Legal Alliance, Defense Research
Institute, The International Association of Defense Counsel, International
Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution, National Association of
Railroad Trial Counsel, National Defense Industrial Association, Product
Stewardship Society, The Sedona Conference, and Washington Legal Foundation.
We maintain our only office in the District of
Columbia and support our community as both lawyers and business people. We
provide pro bono representation through the District of Columbia Bar
Association and other local organizations. We participate in local fundraisers
such as the annual Lawyers Have Heart 10k, Whitman Walker AIDS Walk, Gifts for
the Homeless, and Breast Cancer Awareness activities, and we support numerous
local charitable groups, including Bread for The City, Charlie’s Place, DC
Greens, the Greater Washington Urban League, Langley Elementary School, Rising
for Justice, Rock Creek Conservancy, The Washington Legal Clinic for the
Homeless, and Thrive DC, among others.
