What We Do Litigation Powerhouse Holland & Knight's Portland litigation team is best known for its significant high-stakes litigation experience, class action defense and multijurisdictional practice, and first-rate trial skills. Our team represents local businesses in betthe-company litigation as well as Fortune 100 companies in class actions that challenge their key business practices. Litigating complex factual and legal issues in various forums across the country provides the team a broad perspective for achieving clients' business objectives through litigation. Our robust trial experience also allows us to obtain effective results for clients because opposing parties and lawyers know that we have the skills, depth and proven track record to take cases to trial when needed.
