USA Law and Practice Contributed by: Steven Molo, Robert Kry, Megan Cunniff Church and Walter Hawes, MoloLamken LLP

MoloLamken LLP focuses exclusively on repre - senting clients in complex disputes. It handles civil, criminal and regulatory matters, as well as appeals, across the United States. Its clients span the globe, and MoloLamken is involved in some of the most significant disputes of the day. The firm’s founding partners, Steven Molo and Jeffrey Lamken, devel - oped national reputations based on their courtroom successes while partners at large full-service firms, where they held leadership positions. With an abid -

ing belief that complex disputes are most effectively handled by smaller teams comprised of smart, highly experienced lawyers focused on results rather than process, they formed MoloLamken. The firm provides experienced advocacy – for claimants as well as de - fendants – before judges, juries, arbitral forums and courts of appeals, including the US Supreme Court. It also represents clients in regulatory and criminal investigations, and conducts internal investigations.
