Andrew Tutt

Andrew Tutt co-chairs TL4J’s Nationwide Appellate & Supreme Court Practice. He is an accomplished Supreme Court and appellate advocate with a record of victories shaping civil rights enforcement, servicemember and veterans’ protections, appellate procedure, federal pleading standards, constitutional rights, and access to the courts.

Andrew has been recognized by Chambers USA in Nationwide Appellate Law, where clients praised his “extraordinary strategic instincts.” He has also been named a Rising Star in appellate litigation by The Legal 500, a Leading Litigator in America for Appellate and Supreme Court work by Lawdragon, an Appellate Rising Star by Law360, a D.C. Rising Star and Litigation Trailblazer by The National Law Journal, a Pro Bono Innovator by Bloomberg Law, a Young Lawyer of the Year, Litigation honoree by The American Lawyer Industry Awards, and a Best Lawyers honoree in Appellate Practice.

Andrew has won major cases before the United States Supreme Court and has led appeals in every federal court of appeals. His Supreme Court victories have protected civil rights remedies, expanded legal protections for servicemembers and veterans, clarified rules for preserving issues on appeal, and reinforced federal pleading standards that affect access to federal court.

His appellate victories span the First Amendment, federal grant funding, prisoner and detainee rights, state sovereign immunity, administrative law, intellectual property, and complex federal statutes. He has also established First Amendment protections for filming and livestreaming police officers in the Fourth and Tenth Circuits, helping secure the right across large regions of the eastern and western United States. In a recent actual innocence case, his work led the Department of Justice to announce a nationwide policy protecting access to the courts for people asserting actual innocence.

Andrew represents clients before the Supreme Court, federal courts of appeals, state appellate courts, and trial courts. He also works closely with trial teams on dispositive motions, extraordinary writs, issue preservation, post-trial motions, and verdict defense.

Before joining TL4J, Andrew was Counsel in Arnold & Porter’s Appellate & Supreme Court practice. He previously served in the Office of Legal Counsel at the U.S. Department of Justice and clerked for Judge Cornelia T.L. Pillard on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Andrew earned his J.D. from Yale Law School and his B.S. from Duke University, where he triple-majored in Biomedical Engineering, Economics, and Mathematics.
