Strategic advocacy for high-stakes disputes across the country.

Sweigart Murdock, LLP advises and represents public officials, political parties and candidates, advocacy organizations, newsrooms, students, parents, executives, and individuals in matters that test the limits of law and public scrutiny.

Our firm excels in cases in which legal expertise alone is not enough. When your reputation is on the line, or your case involves political considerations that transcend the bounds of a single lawsuit, political savvy and a keen understanding of public relations are required.

Sweigart Murdock, LLP’s founders Karin Sweigart and Jesse Franklin-Murdock are effective, seasoned litigators who have won critical First Amendment battles, counseled some of America’s most notable public officials and media personalities, and secured numerous courtroom victories, for clients across the country.

Winning in the courtroom is essential, but not enough. As a boutique firm focused on public-facing disputes, we form close, strategic partnerships with our clients. We help you win the courtroom battle—and protect what matters most beyond it.
