Our trial teams handle a wide range of cases, featuring preeminent lawyers who are well-versed in both state and federal court systems. Whether it is a jury trial or a bench trial, Perkins Coie provides the necessary experience for the challenge. 

Jury Trials 

At Perkins Coie, we are adept in the art of jury communication, stripping away complex legal jargon to craft compelling themes and storylines that deeply resonate with jurors. Our trial arsenal is strategically designed to win, ensuring the stories we tell significantly affect the outcomes of our clients' cases. 

In every jury trial, our experienced lawyers present their clients’ best cases through the meticulous marshaling of admissible evidence. Our team includes members of the prestigious American College of Trial Lawyers and the invitation-only American Board of Trial Advocates, as well as former federal prosecutors, government counsel, public defenders, district attorneys, and former judges.

Our broad-scope trial teams include multidisciplinary authorities in their fields, elite motion practice litigators, and industry-leading graphics professionals who create compelling visual support materials. Trying cases on behalf of both defendants and plaintiffs, our trial lawyers are experienced in such fields as technology, products liability, intellectual property, employment and labor law, business disputes, securities, fiduciaries, class actions, political law, privacy, and real estate. 

At the heart of Perkins Coie’s trial success is our in-house jury consulting team. Their in-depth jury research enables our clients and lawyers to prepare for trial knowing what evidence, what witnesses, and what themes will resonate with a jury. 

Across jurisdictions, Perkins Coie’s rapid-response trial team can take over cases within months or weeks before the trial begins, whether because settlement has proved impossible or lawyers with significant jury trial experience are needed. We can deploy a trial team of any size within days, from a small squadron to a large legion, to begin preparing witnesses, voir dire strategies, statements to the jury, demonstrative evidence, and evidentiary motions.
