We are a boutique appellate law firm, focusing on representation before the United States Supreme Court and the federal courts of appeals

We have represented clients in more than 50 merits cases in the Supreme Court and in scores of matters in the courts of appeals

For the past 19 years, we have run the Supreme Court Litigation Clinic at Harvard Law School

Starting at the nation’s first Supreme Court litigation boutique and continuing as co-founders of Russell & Woofter LLC, Kevin Russell and Daniel Woofter have represented parties in more than 50 merits cases before the Supreme Court and in dozens of high stakes appeals. We bring a wealth of experience, creativity, and flexibility to our representation of clients in a broad range of fields as we pursue and defend important appeals throughout the country and in the Supreme Court.   

While we represent the full gamut of clients, we take particular pride in representing the little guy, the startups, and the innovators, regularly going up against some of the nation’s most prominent law firms and most powerful institutions. We also take great pleasure in working closely with trial counsel, combining our appellate expertise with co-counsel’s subject-matter experience and deep knowledge of the case.
