Appellate Attorney Focused on Amicus Advocacy

Larry Ebner, a Fellow of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers, is the founder of Capital Appellate Advocacy PLLC, a Washington, D.C.–based appellate boutique, and Executive Vice President & General Counsel of the Atlantic Legal Foundation.

He focuses on federal appellate litigation and amicus curiae advocacy in cases presenting complex and consequential questions of federal law. At Capital Appellate Advocacy, he handles appeals and provides strategic advice on matters involving constitutional, statutory, and regulatory issues, often where the federal government is a party. At the Atlantic Legal Foundation, he leads its nationally recognized amicus curiae program, oversees its participation in cases of broad legal and policy significance, and authors most of its amicus briefs before the Supreme Court of the United States and federal courts of appeals.

Mr. Ebner, a graduate of Harvard Law School, serves in leadership roles within DRI | Association of Lawyers Defending Business and the Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel. His professional recognitions include DRI’s Tom Segalla Excellence in Education Award, the FDCC’s John Appleman Award, and repeated selection by Thomson Reuters as a Washington, D.C. Appellate Super Lawyer. He writes and speaks extensively on amicus brief strategy and preparation, including as the author of the “All Things Amicus” newsletter, and comments on Supreme Court cases of particular importance to the civil litigation defense bar and its clients.
