Business Litigation

Our firm has an established practice of representing businesses and entrepreneurs in complex and sophisticated business litigation. Virtually any business transaction can give rise to litigation. Although the goal is always to find resolution through negotiation or dispute resolution, litigation is sometimes necessary to protect the health of the business.

Business litigation encompasses a wide range of issues. The types of litigation include:

• Director, stockholder or partner disputes
• Simple and complex contract disputes
• Intellectual property disputes
• Securities Fraud
• Derivative suits
• Claims involving breach of fiduciary duties
• Usurpation of business opportunities
• Exercise of the business judgment rule
• Title VII discrimination
• Sexual harassment cases
• Personal injury actions
• Employment contracts
• Unfair business practices
• Covenants against competition
• Injunction actions
• Zoning disputes
• Commercial real estate litigation
• Class actions.

Even in a thriving business, disputes often arise over ownership and control. In situations where a business is dissolving, the process is frequently contentious.

We are highly adept in handling contentious matters for our clients and we have substantial experience in jury and non-jury trials and in alternative dispute resolution procedures, including arbitration and mediation. Our firm carefully manages and handles your matter from the initial pleadings through discovery, settlement negotiations, and trial in a manner that is both cost-effective and reflective of your goals.  We strive to find reasonable solutions to problems to maximize favorable outcomes for our clients.
