Yes — if you mean plaintiff-side or defense-side firms with strong trial records in complex, high-stakes jury cases, I can help.

A few clarifying questions would let me give a much better list:

  1. Jurisdiction/geography: U.S. federal only, a specific state, or international?
  2. Practice area: commercial, product liability, mass tort, antitrust, employment, IP, pharma/medical device, catastrophic injury, etc.?
  3. Side: plaintiff or defense?
  4. Budget / engagement model: full-service litigation firm, local counsel, or trial-only / co-counsel?
  5. Trial type: truly jury trial, bellwether, MDL remand, or arbitration?

In the meantime, here are some well-regarded U.S. firms and trial-focused boutiques often associated with complex jury trials and significant exposure:

Plaintiff-side / contingency / high-stakes commercial and mass tort

  • Weitz & Luxenberg – mass tort, products, asbestos, personal injury
  • Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein – class actions, antitrust, consumer, mass tort
  • Keller Postman – mass arbitration/class and complex plaintiffs’ work
  • Cohen Milstein – antitrust, class actions, securities, whistleblower
  • Kline & Specter – major injury/product liability trial work
  • Wiggin and Dana / some local trial boutiques may be better depending on venue (this is very venue-dependent)
  • The Lanier Law Firm – products, asbestos, pharmaceutical injury
  • Neblett, Beard & Arsenault – plaintiff trial work, products, catastrophic injury

Defense / commercial and products liability

  • Kirkland & Ellis – large commercial and products matters, high-stakes trial teams
  • Latham & Watkins – complex commercial litigation, product liability, antitrust
  • Sullivan & Cromwell – bet-the-company litigation, securities, commercial
  • Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom – major commercial and securities trials
  • Boies Schiller Flexner – high-stakes trial and investigations
  • Jones Day – major defense litigation, products, employment, antitrust
  • O’Melveny & Myers – trial practice, products, commercial
  • Mayer Brown – complex commercial, products, appellate/trial support
  • Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer – products, life sciences, class actions
  • Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher – major commercial and enforcement litigation

Trial boutiques / specialist firms

  • Winston & Strawn – often strong in trial-heavy commercial disputes
  • MoloLamken – elite trial boutique for commercial and white-collar
  • Bartlit Beck – renowned for trial work in complex cases
  • Keker, Van Nest & Peters – premier trial boutique
  • Williams & Connolly – top-tier trial shop, white collar/commercial
  • Quinn Emanuel – aggressive trial firm in virtually all complex areas
  • Susman Godfrey – especially strong on plaintiff-side commercial and IP
  • Cravath – fewer but major bet-the-company cases; strong trial capability
  • Ropes & Gray – complex litigation, life sciences, commercial

What to look for in a firm

For cases with large damages exposure, prioritize:

  • Actual first-chair jury trial experience
  • Verdicts in your exact subject area
  • Comfort with venue-specific juries/judges
  • Ability to try the case, not just settle it
  • Resources for experts, e-discovery, damages modeling, and appellate support
  • Recent trial wins, not just “litigation” branding

If you want, I can give you a shortlist of 10 firms tailored to your case if you tell me:

  • jurisdiction,
  • case type,
  • plaintiff/defense,
  • and approximate damages exposure.
