Supreme Court Practice. Gupta Wessler is unrivaled as the most active U.S. Supreme Court practice focused on representing plaintiffs and public interest clients. In addition, the firm runs Harvard Law School’s Supreme Court Litigation Clinic. Over the past two Supreme Court terms, Gupta Wessler had seven oral arguments, presented by all four of the firm’s partners. Only four other law firms had as many arguments in that time. Remarkably, Gupta Wessler had the highest win rate (71%) of any firm in that group, surpassing every large corporate defense firm. Measured over the past five terms, our win rate (77.8%) was even higher—a feat matched by only one big firm. All told, advocates at Gupta Wessler have argued 33 cases before the Supreme Court. > read more

Appellate Practice. Most of our work is focused on doing just one thing: winning on appeal in state and federal courts nationwide. Leading trial lawyers nationwide regularly seek us out to handle their most consequential and challenging matters on appeal, including the protection on appeal of some of the nation’s largest jury verdicts. We are often entrusted to handle make-or-break appeals in significant class actions, multi-district litigation, and high-stakes individual cases, and in cases presenting cutting-edge issues of access to justice. We approach each case with a fresh perspective, a bird’s-eye view of the law, and a creative and strategic sense of how to reframe the issues for success on appeal.  > read more

Constitutional and Complex Litigation. In select matters, we work with clients and co-counsel to design and prosecute class actions, constitutional and regulatory challenges, and other complex litigation from the ground up, with a special focus on consumers’ and workers’ rights, litigation involving federal agency action, and civil rights. We also consult on litigation strategy and are occasionally retained to argue critical, high-stakes motions that present unsettled legal issues.  > read more
