Practice Groups Litigation

Business and Commercial Litigation

Business disputes happen, even when everyone involved acted in good faith.

A contract gets breached, a business relationship falls apart or a partner dispute turns into something that cannot be resolved over the conference table. When that happens, you need someone who understands both the legal landscape and the business stakes. Not every dispute needs to go to court, and we will help you assess whether negotiation, mediation or arbitration might get you to a better outcome faster. When litigation is the right answer, we are ready for it.

Common situations we help clients with:

A business owner whose contract was breached and wants to understand their options for recovering what they are owed

Co-owners or shareholders who have reached a point where the only path forward involves the courts

A company that has been threatened with litigation and wants to understand their exposure and how to respond

A business facing a claim from a former partner, vendor or employee that needs to be defended

A dispute involving a fiduciary, such as a manager, officer or trustee, who failed to act in the best interests of the business or its owners

Two parties who are already in litigation and need experienced counsel to take over or step in
