APPEALS 

At BNSK, we pride ourselves on our appellate practice, leveraging our extensive experience and track record of success.  Our award-winning appellate lawyers are known for their exceptional skills in persuasive writing, compelling oral advocacy and legal analysis, and their ability to craft creative and precedent-setting arguments.

BNSK’s distinguished ranks include former law clerks from federal and state appellate courts, and even a former district court judge in Japan.  Beyond the courtroom, we stand as thought leaders in the legal community.  BNSK lawyers actively contribute to legal scholarship by publishing books, textbooks, and articles.  We teach at law schools, educational seminars, judicial conferences, and legal symposiums, while also providing valuable continuing legal education.

Our lawyers have successfully handled appeals in many judicial forums, including the U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. Courts of Appeal (Second, Third, Ninth, Tenth, D.C. and Federal Circuits), California Supreme Court, California Court of Appeal, New York Supreme Court Appellate Division, Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), and United Kingdom Supreme Court.

At BNSK, we efficiently and cost-effectively prepare and argue appeals, delivering optimal outcomes for our clients.  Our lawyers not only excel in skilled advocacy at the appellate level but also bring the expertise of seasoned trial lawyers.  We adeptly review lower court trial records for appellate issues, and are able to negotiate favorable settlements on appeal, ensuring a comprehensive and strategic approach.
