Claggett & Sykes Law Firm

What Claggett & Sykes Law Firm does

Claggett & Sykes Trial Lawyers is a Las Vegas-headquartered plaintiff-side law firm founded in 2005 that represents individuals and classes in catastrophic personal injury, medical malpractice, product liability, and complex commercial litigation. The firm operates exclusively on a contingency fee basis — clients pay no upfront fees and the firm is compensated only if it wins — and is nationally branded as "The Lawyers' Lawyers" because most of its caseload is referred by other attorneys handling difficult or high-stakes matters where insurance carriers refuse to pay. Practice areas span motor vehicle and trucking accidents, premises liability, birth injury and medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, sexual assault, wrongful death, product defect/mass tort, and class actions; representative outcomes include a $951M birth-injury verdict (reduced to $543M post-trial), a $485M sexual-abuse verdict, a $375M antitrust class action verdict, and aggregate verdicts and settlements exceeding $3.4 billion across 400+ cases taken to verdict and 150+ jury trials.

The firm is organized as a private partnership co-founded by Sean Claggett and William Sykes, with Matt Granda as Managing Partner and a roster of more than 40 personnel including 30+ attorneys, case managers, paralegals, and support staff. Its principal technical differentiator is an in-house courtroom used for focus-group testing on every case, which the firm describes as a state-of-the-art trial-preparation asset uncommon among plaintiff firms. Distribution is primarily through attorney referrals and co-counsel arrangements (e.g., Kidwell & Gallagher on the $951M case), supplemented by direct client intake, content marketing via the firm's blog, and a strategic marketing partnership with MassMedia Marketing for paid media and PR. The firm operates five offices across Las Vegas (two), Reno, Salt Lake City, New York City, and Connecticut, with no external investment, parent company, or disclosed funding rounds.
