On the insurance side, he advises and represents insurers in high-value insurance coverage disputes involving general liability and representations and warranties policies.

In addition, he has defended companies in a variety of industries in data privacy and consumer class actions that risk reputational and significant financial exposure, often involving cutting-edge statutory and constitutional issues. He has litigated cases under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Video Privacy Protection Act, the California Invasion of Privacy Act, and other states’ privacy statutes. 

Mitchell counsels clients through all phases of litigation, from pre-suit investigation and discovery to dispositive motions, trial, and appeal.  He has authored dozens of briefs in federal and state courts around the country.  As a member of the firm’s appellate practice, Mitchell draws on his experience clerking for two federal judges to navigate complex legal issues in critical motions at the trial court, establish a clean record for appeal, and defend success—or correct course—in appellate courts.  Mitchell also maintains an active pro bono practice focused on appellate advocacy, including amicus briefs to courts of appeal and the U.S. Supreme Court. 

Before joining Mintz, Mitchell served as a law clerk to the Honorable O. Rogeriee Thompson of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and to the Honorable Alvin W.
