A notable development has emerged in the arena of appellate litigation with the launch of Zimmer Citron & Clarke, a boutique law firm founded by two former Goodwin partners, David Zimmer and Edwina Clarke. The duo has teamed up with Eric Citron, previously a partner at Goldstein & Russell and an executive in litigation funding, to focus on plaintiff-side appeals in complex multi-district litigation and class actions. This new firm will play a strategic role in cases involving antitrust, civil rights, immigration, and other significant legal controversies.
David Zimmer articulated the firm’s mission to become a key strategic ally for plaintiff-side trial firms dealing with intricate legal challenges in both trial courts and courts of appeals. The firm is establishing its presence not only in Boston but also in Washington, D.C., positioning itself to leverage its expertise in a broad geographical scope. This initiative marks a distinctive shift towards specializing in plaintiffs’ appeals—a niche yet growing market sector.
The founding members bring a wealth of experience from their previous roles. Zimmer and Clarke have been pivotal in shaping appellate strategies in their former capacities at Goodwin. Their collaboration with Eric Citron, who brings a depth of litigation funding and prior appellate practice experience, is expected to set a new benchmark in the realm of appellate advocacy.
