BUSINESS LITIGATION
Our firm has a proven track record of successfully handling a wide variety of complex business litigation matters for both plaintiffs and defendants. Our business litigation attorneys create opportunities and solve problems for our clients through aggressive negotiation, mediation, and the effective use of litigation. Our business litigation attorneys bring years of experience and proven success in representing clients having diverse business interests.
We both initiate and defend a broad range of business litigation actions, always with the same guiding principle: to achieve optimal results for our clients quickly and cost-effectively. In addition to our substantial experience in the courtroom, our attorneys frequently help clients resolve their disputes through mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
When litigation is the only way to resolve a conflict, our litigators know how to win.Â
In each of these areas, we have the resources and experience needed to help you develop and pursue sound legal strategies.
When building a defense, we keep clients in the decision-making loop to help ensure that litigation decisions and business decisions are compatible. We do this through a combination of budgeting, reporting, and risk analysis that builds trust, instills confidence, and underscores our commitment to your business goals.
We have the experience and resources to handle the largest, most complex cases, but we can keep the small cases small as well. We maintain an in-house state-of-the-art litigation support department that allows us to cost-effectively manage the vast quantities of documents and data required in civil discovery and complex trials.
While litigating cases and preparing for trial, we explore settlement options with clients because we understand that our clients’ time and resources are best spent growing their businesses. We, therefore, look for opportunities to mediate or use other forms of alternative dispute resolution where a matter can be resolved quickly and effectively, allowing our clients to focus their energies on their businesses and not on lawsuits.
