Litigation Practice

Clients ranging in size and sophistication from public company executives to individuals and family business owners turn to Ulmer & Berne’s litigators to represent their interests. The Firm has long been admired for the breadth and depth of its litigation practice, both regionally and nationally. 

We are proud of our reputation for delivering high-quality legal services, and doing so efficiently and cost-effectively. Our litigators actively represent clients in state and federal courts and alternative dispute resolution proceedings throughout the Midwest and across the country. We serve as national and MDL counsel in pharmaceutical and mass tort litigation from our Cincinnati office. From our Cleveland office, we represent a number of the nation’s leading banks, broker-dealers and other financial institutions in securities, investment fraud, regulatory, consumer and employment matters.

Ulmer & Berne attorneys routinely are named to national, regional and local lists of “Best Lawyers” and “Leading Lawyers.” Our attorneys serve as chairs and leaders of regional and national bar associations, and judicially and legislatively sponsored committees that shape civil litigation practice. 

Ulmer & Berne’s Litigation department is comprised of a wide range of different practice areas. Our team approach, in which attorneys typically belong to two or more areas, enables us to direct the right mix of substantive expertise to each matter while keeping the staffing lean and efficient.
