The lawyers of Leib & Katt, LLC are committed to providing the best possible representation to defend our individual and business clients in important and sophisticated litigation throughout Wisconsin and nationwide.

All of our cases are important because each one is a major issue for our clients no matter what the stakes. It involves time and expense, and we strive to understand the client’s goals, concerns and resources. Today's litigation-prone business environment is a major cost challenge for our clients, so in every case we develop an early strategy to resolve the matter in the way that meets the client’s business objectives. Our lawyers’ “end game experience” as skilled trial counsel with an exceptional record of success is often the leverage needed to settle a case.

Our approach is sophisticated because we believe there’s a big difference between litigators and trial lawyers. Litigators take months and even years to send out written discovery, depose witnesses and then finally resolve the case just before trial. This is a very expensive process. The trial lawyers of Leib & Katt work efficiently to discover the facts, explain the issues to the client,and then decide to try the case or resolve without incurring significant expense. Our skill at trial law supports the ultimate strategy - litigation, mediation, arbitration or settlement - that best meets our clients’ needs.

Our founders established and exemplify this philosophy. William J. Katt and Samuel J. Leib have, between them, tried more than 200 major civil jury cases to verdict. They have successfully dealt with virtually every type of judge, expert and argument, and share their knowledge and insight with the firm’s other partners and associates. Both lawyers have been selected by their peers as Wisconsin Super Lawyers®; Bill Katt was chosen as a fellow in the American College of Trial Lawyers (an honor given to just one percent of the lawyers in each state), while Sam Leib has been on the faculty of Marquette University Law School for more than a decade. Such credentials, and the capabilities of all our firm’s lawyers, are why leading national and regional companies in aviation, retailing, insurance, construction, manufacturing and health care, as well as major governmental clients, rely on us to protect their vital interests.
