The litigation landscape has a new power player: boutique Wilkinson Walsh + Eskovitz. Last week, former Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison partners Beth Wilkinson (named a Litigator of the Year in 2015 by The American Lawyer) and Alexandra Walsh announced that they were teaming up with Munger Tolles & Olson partner Sean Eskovitz and three other trial aces to launch a new firm with offices in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles.

Combined, the firm partners have tried more than 100 cases before juries, and will represent clients including the National Football League, Pfizer Inc., Altria Group, Medtronic Inc., Georgia-Pacific and Major League Baseball.
