Disputes & Trials
Whether it be jury trials, preliminary injunction hearings, motions to dismiss or for summary judgment, arbitrations, administrative hearings or appellate advocacy, LLBM attorneys have a proven record of success.
Jury & Court Trials
We are an acknowledged leader in Vermont trial practice. While we explore options that make the most sense for you, you can rest assured if that option is trial, LLBM will be ready.
Administrative Hearings
Our clients operate in a regulatory environment that can lead to administrative hearings. We use our trial skills to optimize an effective presentation of your case at every hearing.
Arbitrations
Whether in the labor, business or construction context, arbitration is a popular choice for some clients. We know the arbitrators, the process and how to present the case.
Courtroom & Appellate Advocacy
Trials are rare; legal memoranda and briefs are guaranteed. We know outstanding written work, early in a case, can save a client months, if not years, of litigation and expense. Our team is committed to excellence on your behalf with every written submission and oral argument.

Schools, colleges and universities increasingly operate within a larger context of significant social and legal change. With decades of experience, our attorneys work with educational leaders to provide timely, legal, and pragmatic advice.
