Federal Practice Group
Explore our Federal Practice Group brochure
JW's federal practice group includes former District Court Judges, Magistrate Judges, and seasoned former federal litigators with decades of experience. Members of the panel routinely serve as mediators, arbitrators, special masters, and private judges. They also offer neutral analyses, appellate reviews, and neutral focus groups across a broad spectrum of cases involving federal law. Our staff includes talented professionals, research attorneys, and case managers with experience in the federal arena. These team members are armed with resources to provide ample support in federal matters.
Individual neutrals bring experience in specific areas, including:
  • Admiralty
  • Antitrust
  • Appellate
  • Aviation
  • Bankruptcy
  • Civil rights
  • Class action
  • Complex civil
  • Copyright
  • Employment
  • Environmental
  • Government administration and agency
  • Intellectual Property
  • Multi-district litigation
  • Patent
  • Securities
  • Trademark
  • Tort

Whether the case centers on patent issues or government regulatory policy, whether it originates on federal land or in cyberspace, our federal practice group members have the support, skills, temperament, and experience to unravel these complex matters.

With the formation of Judicate West's Federal Practice Group (FPG), we also launched our Federal Practice Group Community, which allows us to strategically develop and share resources supporting lawyers who handle federal matters. Join Judicate West's FPG Community
