We believe that every case gains a competitive advantage when your adversary knows you can take it to trial, whether the matter ultimately ends up in court or in a settlement. Our powerhouse of accomplished trial attorneys pioneer national, integrated strategies to handle major cases and large portfolios of related litigation efficiently.

Recognized in the top tier of national commercial litigation practices by U.S. News and Best Law Firms®, GRSM represents clients in finance, real estate, manufacturing, life sciences, entertainment, retail and other sectors.
Whether you are a Fortune 100 company or a small business, a single partner serves as your main point of contact at GRSM.
Working from the top, we identify your business goals, analyze risk, estimate time and budget, and provide realistic outcome scenarios. And then we marshal the right team to tailor a strategic path for success. Our model is particularly effective when clients face similar challenges in several jurisdictions, in class actions, or in multidistrict litigation.
Clients appreciate our creativity in eliminating claims at the earliest possible stage.
We aggressively pursue strategies that could lead to a favorable resolution before trial, limit the issues at trial, or lead to a favorable settlement. And when your case goes to trial or arbitration, we have the experience and depth to present the most complicated cases to judges, juries and mediators successfully.
The lawyers who have handled your case from the start are in most cases the lawyers who take the case to trial. Whether applied to high-demand individual lawsuits or multiparty actions, our approach adds consistency and impact while reducing surprises, miscommunication and duplicative efforts.
Our centralized model has led to novel and winning defenses in scores of complex class actions, such as litigation related to consumer product labels and retailers’ privacy practices, to name a few recent successes. Faced with the toughest situations, our clients count on us being trial ready, in every corner of the country, and for candid, pragmatic and objective guidance at every step of litigation.
