Civil & Commercial Appeals

Protecting Legal Wins. Correcting Legal Errors.

In complex civil litigation, the outcome at trial is rarely the end of the story. Whether a case was resolved in your favor or not, the appellate process offers a critical second layer of legal review—one that demands precision, restraint, and a deep command of the law.

At Robinson & Lawing, LLP, we represent clients in civil and commercial appeals across North Carolina. We work with business entities, local governments, insurers, individuals, and trial counsel to defend favorable outcomes or challenge erroneous ones, bringing strategic clarity to the high-stakes appellate process.

Trusted Appellate Counsel for Civil and Business Disputes

Our appellate attorneys handle a wide range of matters, including:

Contract interpretation and enforcement disputes
Business torts, including fraud, interference, and unfair trade practices
Planning, zoning, and land use litigation
Employment-related appeals
Fiduciary litigation and trust disputes
Professional liability and malpractice claims
Injunctions and equitable relief

These cases often involve substantial monetary judgments, precedential legal questions, or rulings with significant business implications. We bring focus and credibility to each step of the process—from notice of appeal through oral argument.

Collaborating with Trial Counsel

We frequently serve as appellate counsel for trial attorneys seeking a second set of eyes on the record or wishing to refer appellate work entirely. Our role can include:

Independent case evaluation
Framing issues for review
Brief writing and editing
Oral argument preparation
Advising on post-trial motions and appellate procedure

Trial lawyers trust us because we understand both the substance and the strategy—what to say, what to leave behind, and how to speak the appellate court’s language.

Precision Writing. Attention to Detail. Persuasive Advocacy.

Appellate litigation is not about rearguing the facts. It is about crafting a legally sound narrative built on case law, statutory interpretation, and procedural integrity.
