Andrew D. Silverman Partner

New York

Andrew is a skilled brief writer who works on significant motions in the trial court to prevent any need for appeal by winning the case first. Drawing on his years as a trial attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice, Andrew collaborates with the trial court team to serve as the point person for law-intensive briefs and strategy. Andrew is frequently retained to work on dispositive motions and preliminary-injunction briefing. If the case proceeds toward trial, Andrew leads strategizing and all manner of briefing from jury instructions to motions in limine to mid-trial objections to post-trial motions.

In addition, Andrew focuses on readying cases for appeal by perfecting critical appellate issues and teeing them up in the most favorable posture. Andrew has brought these special skills to bear for some of the world’s largest companies in their most important cases, including for Dow, Gilead Sciences, Oracle, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Basin Electric Power.

Andrew also has a strong record on appeals, including major wins for Oracle, Dow AgroSciences, Basin, KBC Bank, and the City and County of Los Angeles. In appellate cases, Andrew takes pride in collaborating with his client and the trial team to rethink the case from the bottom up, searching for ways to present even the most complicated arguments as plain common sense, and drafting a storytelling version of the case that hooks the reader from the first page. Andrew emphasizes oral argument, working tirelessly to develop themes specifically for oral argument that magnify -- not merely parrot -- the briefing.
