(Leading partners)Over the past year, McDermott Will & Emery LLP’s national appellate practice has had strong showings before the DC and Fourth Circuits, and also scored a win at the US Supreme Court. Department co-chair Paul Hughes secured the SCOTUS victory when he successfully represented an individual in seeking relief from deportation on account of her gender identity—he has now argued ten times before SCOTUS. Increasingly prominent appellate specialist Michael Kimberly co-chairs the group and has clocked up eight arguments before the US Supreme Court; he has carved a significant niche in advising on issues concerning the Medicare Act, among other matters. The Washington DC-based group also includes younger partners Andrew Lyonsberg and Sarah Hogarth, who provide specialist support on appellate matters.
