Law Firm Overview

Spriggs & Hollingsworth is among the nation's leading litigation firms. All of our eighty lawyers specialize in complex trial and appellate work.

We handle any litigation challenge, but the majority of our work is for corporate clients in the areas of pharmaceutical products, medical devices, toxic torts and products liability, financial institutions, federal claims, government contracts, insurance, environmental, and white-collar defense. Our clients are multi-national blue-chip companies, large and small domestic businesses, and an array of directors and 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.

Our attorneys are regularly called upon to lecture and write on issues involving our areas of expertise. We have taught law school courses, authored leading treatises, spoken at national conferences for judges and lawyers, and served on the editorial staff of media outlets. We host private seminars for our clients, including the country's longest-running seminar on toxics litigation. We go in-house to teach counsel and their clients how their business affects the course of litigation and vice versa. We work with the most impressive experts and consultants in the world.

We maintain our only office in the District of Columbia, and we support our community as both lawyers and business people. We independently advance our clients interests through our memberships in the Sedona Conference, Lawyers for Civil Justice, the Products Liability Advisory Council, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce National Litigation Centers Constitutional and Administrative Law Committee, and more. We encourage local pro bono representation through the District of Columbia Bar Association and other local organizations. We participate in local fund-raisers for charitable groups, such as the annual Lawyers Have Heart run and Breast Cancer Awareness activities. Our attorneys serve on boards and committees of both local and national organizations.
