AXS LAW Group Expands Innovative Offerings in Washington, D.C.

In a significant move, AXS LAW Group is proud to announce the opening of a new office in Washington, D.C., aimed at providing strategic legal and advisory services on both a national and international scale. This expansion is a collaborative effort with Invenio LLP, an established name in litigation finance. Together, the firms aim to empower global businesses in enhancing the return on their legal investments.

The newly established D.C. office brings together a diverse team of talented legal professionals, combining AXS LAW’s renowned trial lawyers from Miami and Los Angeles with elite D.C. attorneys covering various fields, including litigation finance, capital markets, tax disputes, international trade, and more. Leading this new venture are Ed Gehres, co-founder of Invenio LLP, and Jeff Gutchess, the founding partner of AXS LAW.

Key Personnel and Vision

Ed Gehres is a well-respected figure, previously serving as a partner at an AmLaw 100 firm and as General Counsel for two financial companies. Working alongside him is Jeff Gutchess, a trial lawyer with a national reputation for excellence. Rounding out the pioneering team in D.C. are Michael Kummer, a noted tax disputes expert formerly of Morgan Lewis; Peter Godwin, ex-General Counsel for publicly traded tech firms; and Blake Trueblood, who specializes in private credit.

This team is set to expand further with the introduction of advisors who bring expertise in international sanctions, export controls, and complex fraud cases. Notably, Henry Haggard, a veteran of the State Department and NSA, will lend his experience, focusing on geopolitical risks and conflict resolution strategies.

A Commitment to Client Success

The primary clientele for the D.C. office will include businesses operating in emerging economies and regions enduring conflict, such as parts of Ukraine, the Middle East, and Africa. Gehres emphasizes the office was created out of a necessity to merge the skills of financing plaintiffs’ claims with renowned trial lawyers’ capabilities, thus ensuring a robust representation for those with difficult claims against opposition forces, including cases of corruption.

According to Gutchess, AXS LAW has demonstrated its ability to secure substantial recoveries for clients, focusing on innovative strategies and storytelling approaches. The firm has successfully reclaimed over $650 million on behalf of its clients through its unique methodologies and dynamic teamwork.

A Shift in Legal Paradigms

AXS LAW is redefining how law firms operate by prioritizing a vigorous approach to litigation that is not only focused on winning cases but also on changing how legal narratives are constructed. The firm prides itself on its adaptability and willingness to embrace risks that others might shy away from.

In today’s world, where legal challenges often intertwine with broader political and economic issues, having a law firm that mirrors these complexities is invaluable. AXS LAW Group’s expansion into Washington, D.C., through its partnership with Invenio LLP, fortifies the firm's commitment to providing comprehensive, effective legal solutions tailored for the global landscape.
