Milbank LLP’s Supreme Court and Appellate practice recently hosted an event titled “Supreme Court Review: Reflections on the Past Term and a Look Ahead” as part of Milbank’s Litigation Group Speaker Series.
Milbank partners Neal Katyal and Colleen Roh Sinzdak discussed major decisions from the Supreme Court’s recent term in a panel moderated by comedian and actor John Mulaney. The panel also highlighted important upcoming cases, including the major challenge to the global and reciprocal tariffs, which is being argued by Mr. Katyal before the Federal Circuit later this month and is likely to go to the Supreme Court thereafter.
Mr. Katyal focuses on appellate and complex litigation, with extensive experience in all sorts of matters of federal and state law. He is one of a few living individuals to have argued more than 50 cases before the Supreme Court of the United States. A 2023 study found Mr. Katyal had argued more Supreme Court cases than anyone else, save one person, in the preceding six years, and a 2024 study found him to be one of the two most successful Petitioners to the Supreme Court at any law firm in the country. In June 2025, the Financial Times named him one of the 20 most innovative legal practitioners worldwide. Mr. Katyal leads Milbank’s Supreme Court and Appellate practice, which was recently enriched with the arrival of partner Colleen Sinzdak.
Ms. Sinzdak specializes in appellate and complex litigation. She joined Milbank this May after spending almost six years in the Solicitor General’s Office, where she represented the United States before the Supreme Court and managed the United States’ litigation strategy before the courts of appeals and in major cases headed for the Supreme Court. She has argued before the Supreme Court 11 times and in courts of appeals on many occasions. She has also been the principal drafter of more than 100 Supreme Court briefs and of numerous briefs before the courts of appeals and district courts.
