Our business litigation attorneys provide creative and cost effective solutions to business disputes. We are trial attorneys first and foremost, and as such, we have experience representing a variety of businesses in a variety of disputes. Each case is aggressively prepared with the understanding that successful resolution requires convincing the opposing party, mediator, arbitrator, judge, or jury that that our client’s position is supported by both the facts and law. This requires attorneys committed to success and not just the billable hour.
Prior to starting this firm, each partner was mentored at large commercial litigation firms litigating multi-million dollar “bet the business” disputes. Since then we have successfully represented a variety of companies in civil litigation matters and arbitration proceedings. This litigation experience combined with our educational background and federal clerkship experience provides our attorneys the tools necessary to successfully represent your interests. Moreover, we recognize that each case is different, and we work with clients to develop a fee structure that fits their case and unique business needs.
