Company description
Mauro Lilling Naparty LLP is the largest firm in the Northeast dedicated to appellate advocacy and litigation strategy. For the last 20 years, MLN has nimbly handled state and federal matters in various appellate courts around the region including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont. With our staff of experienced appellate practitioners and former law clerks to appellate judges, we know what works and our rate of success proves it. Our overall rate of success on appeal is 70 percent, far exceeding the national average.

MLN is distinctly different, in a number of important respects, from the firms who offer appellate counsel within their trial practice. Because we do not handle cases from inception, we have the ability to provide our clients with a completely objective assessment of the issues. We offer a fresh view of the case and often a different approach to the litigation strategy. Importantly, however, we do not “step on the shoes” of trial counsel; we complement their services. We believe that our differences materially benefit our clients, and our decision to be an appellate practice permits us to stand out in a marketplace which is inhabited by firms which increasingly look alike.

MLN is a firm with a conscience. We pride ourselves on always trying our best to “do the right thing” by our clients. Our goal is to achieve the best possible result in a cost efficient manner at any stage of the litigation, and we will recommend settlement if we believe that settlement offers the best possible outcome without an appeal. Whether we join the litigation team pretrial, during trial, or for an appeal after trial, we have shown our clients that adding outside appellate counsel to the team changes the landscape of the litigation and often expedites a successful resolution.
