Describe your firm’s approach to litigation and your strategy for building successful teams for trials or other matters. Zuckerman Spaeder is a litigation firm that handles a wide range of matters. Our case staffing is designed to achieve favorable outcomes whether we’re representing 50,000 people against an insurance company or one person facing government prosecution. Rather than relying on large teams and a top-down reporting structure, we staff cases leanly with a few partners with significant trial experience aided by a small number of active and integrated associates. Our lawyers work across practice areas, handling criminal and civil cases representing plaintiffs and defendants, individuals and companies. This gives us the experience to thrive in a variety of settings.

Discuss the two biggest litigation cases your firm worked on in 2019 and how you reached successful outcomes. After taking the nation’s largest health insurer to trial for widespread mental health claim denials, a federal court delivered a landmark ruling that The New York Times called “scathing.” That class action win against United Healthcare will provide relief for over 50,000 plaintiffs and has been hailed as the Brown v. Board of Education for mental health parity.
