Our Business Litigation Practice

A lawsuit was never part of your business plan. So when you are faced with litigation, it needs to be addressed strategically to get back to business.

We partner with you to make litigation as painless as possible. Once we understand your goals and budget, we will work with you to navigate the process and procedures that steer a lawsuit through the courts. We won’t tell you lawsuits are fun, but our clients are often surprised at how comfortable and easy this process can be when we work together.

Business conflicts flare-up over a range of issues. We can help resolve many of them, including:

• Collecting when a customer fails to pay what is due
• Securing performance—or compensation—when you do not get the service or goods you paid for
• Redressing breaches of warranty
• Enforcing non-compete and non-solicitation agreements to protect against poaching
• Enforcing confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements to safeguard your trade secrets
• Resolving shareholder and partnership disputes
• Holding parties to the terms of their lease agreements

We can also help you maintain a competitive edge by fighting back against unfair business practices, such as:

• Misappropriation of trade secrets
• False advertising claims under state law or the Lanham Act
• Deceptive trade practices
• Copyright and trademark infringement
• Fraud
• Tortious interference with contract or business opportunities
