Kieff Strategies

Kieff Strategies LLC is a specialized advisory firm headquartered in Washington, D.C., focusing on strategic consulting, dispute resolution, investigations, crisis management, and expert litigation advice and testimony. The firm explicitly states that it provides consulting services and does not engage in the practice of law, nor does it offer legal services, representation, or advice to its clients. As such, it operates outside the traditional structure of a law firm and is not subject to AmLaw or Chambers rankings.

The firm specializes in providing expert litigation advice and testimony across a broad array of complex commercial disputes, particularly those at the intersection of technology, law, business, and national security. Its areas of expertise encompass international trade, intellectual property, antitrust, finance, biotechnology, medicine, governance, cyber, privacy, and security. Kieff Strategies offers its services to leading trial and appellate practitioners for high-stakes commercial disputes within and across tribunals and national boundaries, serving as an impartial expert resource rather than representing a specific side in litigation.

In its capacity as an expert advisor, Kieff Strategies was involved in Avant Location Technologies LLC v. Apple Inc., where F. Scott Kieff provided expert litigation advice and testimony on the plaintiff side. As a consulting firm, Kieff Strategies LLC does not have a direct IPR/PGR filing or defense practice. However, its founder, F. Scott Kieff, possesses a significant academic background in patent law and validity, including publications on patent validity litigation, which informs the firm's ability to offer expert insights on such complex intellectual property matters.

The firm's leadership includes its founder, The Honorable F. Scott Kieff, who is also the Stevenson Bernard Professor at George Washington University Law School and a former U.S. International Trade Commissioner. Key team member Dr. Thomas D. Grant also contributes extensive experience in complex multi-jurisdiction disputes and international law, providing advisory and expert witness services.
