[Our Litigation Approach]
Selendy Gay is dedicated to excellence in high‑stakes, commercial disputes, including trials, appeals, arbitrations, and investigations. Our lawyers are seasoned courtroom advocates and sophisticated strategists, with deep experience representing corporations and their stakeholders in their most consequential matters.
Our clients hire us to win, and we do. We immerse ourselves in our clients’ businesses and master even the most technical and esoteric subject matter with speed and precision. That preparation enables us to litigate effectively across industries and disciplines.
This focus serves our clients when the stakes are highest: bet‑the‑company litigation, disputes that threaten the viability of a business, multibillion‑dollar shareholder and partnership conflicts, and high‑profile regulatory and investigative matters.
Selendy Gay blends business savvy with our formidable courtroom and investigation skills to represent parties on both sides of the “v”, nationwide.
We deploy our team 100+ trial and appellate lawyers thoughtfully, scaling matters efficiently as litigation demands evolve. This flexible model allows our lawyers to gain exceptional courtroom experience early and enables us to staff matters with trial‑ready attorneys across our ranks.
By narrowing the issues for trial through targeted discovery and innovative motion practice, we establish an immediate and lasting advantage for our clients— dismantling our opponent’s best defenses before trial even begins.
We have a reputation for showing up in court battle-ready, allowing us to be aggressive when boldness is called for, and to negotiate highly favorable settlements that protect our clients’ interests.

$40+ Billion
Recovered by our Partners
As plaintiffs’ counsel, we have obtained more than $40 billion in recoveries, including several of the largest residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) recoveries in U.S. history, and the largest earnouts-related damages award in Delaware history. We have pioneered claims, and even practice areas, that held institutional giants accountable.
As Defendants
As defense counsel, we have obtained major dismissals of complex cases in federal and state courts across the country, won bet-the-company cases that threatened the existence of our clients’ businesses and business models, vindicated individuals in aggressive white-collar prosecutions, successfully counseled clients in fast-moving investigations, and resolved prosecutorial and regulatory inquiries, often before they became public. Our teams have represented clients in litigation, investigations, and appeals brought by the SEC, the DOJ, and a number of state Attorneys General.
