The idea for Taylor & Taylor Law came about from its founders' service
as judicial clerks. During their clerkships, Mr. and Ms. Taylor
observed that small firms are often at a disadvantage in the federal
courts and courts of appeal. Because these firms frequently focus on
state-court trial practice, they often lack the time and resources to
dedicate to the knowledge of procedure and the intensive written
advocacy that define practice in the federal courts and the courts of
appeal. Taylor & Taylor Law was founded to level the playing field
in these courts by assisting the small-firm practitioner in formulating
strategy, navigating the courts' rigidly-enforced procedures, and
writing briefs and motions.
Judicial clerkships gave the attorneys at Taylor & Taylor Law a
unique perspective on litigation. They had the opportunity to learn
written advocacy from the perspective of the courts they served.
Additionally, they each learned the nuances of procedure in these
courts, as well as the competitive advantages that an intimate
understanding of these procedures can provide. As a result of this
perspective, Taylor & Taylor Law can advocate with the viewpoints
of both the litigator and the court in mind.
In both judicial service and private practice, the attorneys at Taylor
& Taylor Law learned that often-overlooked procedural
issues — subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, venue,
choice of law, etc. — frequently determine the outcome of a case.
Collectively, the attorneys at Taylor & Taylor Law have spent
thousands of hours researching and writing on such procedural issues,
ranging from routine jurisdictional challenges to cutting-edge aspects
of Constitutional law and statutory interpretation. Additionally, the
attorneys know from experience that thoroughness and attention to
detail are critical both at the trial court level and on appeal. The
firm's creative approach to litigation, along with the attorneys'
research and writing skills, can level the playing field for the
small-firm practitioner.
