Commercial Litigation

Our lawyers listen—and take time to learn your business. We have built our reputation on our practical business experience, which combined with in-depth legal expertise allows us to help clients resolve business and commercial disputes effectively.

We work with our clients as trusted advisors who keep a sharp focus on our clients’ long-term needs and goals. We work with you and apply our knowledge and skills to solve the problem because we understand that such focused resolution is vital to your company and its stake-holders – whether you are one of the Fortune 50 or a more local family business.

The complexities of today’s economy, corporate governance, media and investor relations, financial services, real estate development and finance, food and agriculture, transportation and retail, energy, pharmaceutical and health care, sports, entertainment, and hospitality and constantly evolving technology challenge business leaders to navigate a wide range of often uncharted waters. We have vast experience in a wide array of commercial matters.

 

When Trial is Necessary, We’re Ready

As trial lawyers, we are often the best resource to avoid lawsuits. We frequently counsel clients on how to resolve business issues without the cost and uncertainty of litigation. We also have a strong record of resolving disputes through mediation and other pre-trial strategies.

There is a difference between trial preparers and trial lawyers, and adversaries and courts alike know we mean business. The best way to a favorable result is the willingness and ability to try the case. We pride ourselves on handling complex litigation with the end result in mind – whether at the state or federal level, before a jury or judge, at commercial or mandatory arbitration. And we have the evidence management and trial presentation tools, scalable to each case, to efficiently and persuasively present your strongest case.
