Mauro Lilling Naparty

What Mauro Lilling Naparty does

Mauro Lilling Naparty LLP (MLN) is a privately held, women-owned appellate and litigation strategy law firm founded in 1992 and headquartered at 100 Crossways Park Drive West, Suite 310, Woodbury, New York. The firm self-describes as the largest firm in the Northeast dedicated exclusively to appellate advocacy and litigation strategy, practicing in state and federal appellate courts nationwide. It serves institutional clients including major insurance carriers (AIG, Chubb, Travelers, Zurich, CNA, Nationwide, Liberty Mutual), hospital systems (New York Presbyterian, NYU Langone, North Shore-LIJ, Catholic Health Services of Long Island, Winthrop University Hospital, Staten Island University Hospital, CVS Health), corporate clients (Ford, ExxonMobil, Ralph Lauren), and government entities (Suffolk County, Town of North Hempstead), as well as individuals in high-stakes matters.

The firm's core service portfolio spans four pillars: Appeals (forceful brief writing and oral argument across state and federal appellate courts), Litigation Strategy (early-engagement partnership with trial counsel to frame and preserve legal issues), Damage Mitigation / National Damages Mitigation Program (aggressive defense of damages in complex tort cases, including Affordable Care Act-based minimization of medical expense damages, with the firm serving as National Coordinating Counsel on Damages for several institutional clients), and the High Exposure Litigation Program (HELP), an alternative case-handling model from inception. Supporting sub-services include Early Case Evaluation, the Active Trial Monitoring Program (in-trial appellate partnership with trial counsel), and Post-Trial Motion Services.

Underlying delivery rests on standard legal research platforms and case management systems rather than proprietary technology. The firm operates on standard hourly billing as the dominant pricing model, with alternative fee arrangements available when aligned to client objectives. Commercial motion is referral- and relationship-driven: client acquisition occurs through professional referrals, in-house counsel and insurance carrier direct engagement, peer reputation, thought leadership via publications (including the New York Law Journal), seminars and in-house training, and bar association lectures. MLN has five named partners and roughly ten additional attorneys and associates, anchored by founding partners Caryn L. Lilling and Matthew W. Naparty.
