Nationwide Appellate & Trial

Jones Day's Issues & Appeals Practice is unique in both its nationwide scope and its breadth and depth of practice. Our lawyers regularly work on challenging and important cases. They do so, moreover, both at the trial level, to develop winning strategies and to optimize the trial record for possible appeals, and at the appellate level. Among our areas of focus are intellectual property appeals in the Federal Circuit and other courts of appeal, for which Legal 500, an independent guide to law firms, has recognized Jones Day as a "go-to firm" for patent appellate work, and as having a "particularly strong" practice in this area.

The range of subjects that our attorneys brief and argue is numerous and varied, as the examples below demonstrate.
