Complex Commercial Litigation

We’re relentless in our pursuit of solutions.

Complex commercial litigation impacts the bottom line because it distracts a company from profit-centered pursuits. When your organization’s finances, employees, management, or reputation may be affected by a legal matter, we help find a solution. Sometimes that solution requires early resolution; sometimes that solution requires trial. As an experienced commercial litigation law firm, our attorneys understand that – regardless of the strategy – we must earn our client’s confidence and deliver value to their organization.

Our Approach to Commercial Litigation:

  • Efficiency: We are seasoned litigators with experience at trial and on appeal. Our litigation style is efficient, aggressive, and result-oriented. We will not back down; we work hard for the outcome our clients deserve. We pay attention to advancing our client’s interests through efficient discovery and key dispositive motion practice to maximize the opportunity for a successful outcome in the shortest time.

  • Balance: Our approach is aligned with our client’s goals. We balance aggressive advocacy with appropriate consideration of our client’s business objectives and style. Some clients desire an aggressive approach to bring the matter to trial quickly, while others prefer a more conciliatory path with a goal of a negotiated settlement that preserves important relationships. In every case, our approach begins with you. We employ creative strategies to meet your goals, including early pre-suit facilitation where appropriate.
  • Experience: Our experience with sophisticated commercial litigation includes a wide variety of matters such as breach of fiduciary duty, business torts, commercial fraud, breach of contract and contract interference, insurance disputes, construction disputes, unfair competition, professional liability, and real estate disputes. We represent our clients in state and federal courts, and throughout the country with the permission of the local courts.
