Williams & Connolly appellate practice chief Kannon Shanmugam has a simple goal: “That our reputation for appellate litigation matches our reputation for trial litigation.”
Considering the 250-lawyer firm has long been regarded as one of the nation’s pre-eminent litigation shops, it’s no modest ambition. But since Shanmugam joined the firm in 2008 from the Office of the Solicitor General (the first lawyer to join Williams & Connolly directly as a partner in 22 years), the firm has made its mark in the appellate arena.
