Commercial Litigation

Our litigation practice group helps to both prevent and resolve disputes by providing clients with practical, creative legal advice that focuses on their strategic and commercial objectives. Our experience includes the full spectrum of dispute resolution and litigation mechanisms ranging from negotiation, mediation, conciliation and conflict resolution to vigorous courtroom strategy, multi-party and class action lawsuits and appellate proceedings. We integrate each client’s business goals with our legal strategy in order to deliver the best possible outcomes as defined by the client. At the outset of any dispute or investigation, we partner with our clients to gain a deep understanding of their business objectives and work closely with in-house legal and business teams to most effectively and efficiently achieve those objectives. 

 

We favor a team-oriented approach with our clients, keeping them informed and consulting with them throughout the litigation and dispute resolution process. From the moment our clients find themselves in a legal dispute, our team is focused not just on the next deadline, but on the optimal path to obtaining a favorable resolution of the matter that is truly in the best interest of our clients. We fully and aggressively defend matters to conclusion, always keeping an eye on potential early resolutions to avoid protracted litigation when desired. We arm our clients with the tools to make practical and effective business decisions aligned with and in support of their overall goals and objectives. 

 

We represent clients at every stage of commercial disputes, from initial negotiations through motion practice, discovery, trial, and appeals. Unlike many commercial litigation firms, we routinely try cases before juries, judges and arbitrators. Our teams combine first-chair trial skills with deep interdisciplinary experience on the business, regulatory, and legal issues underlying the litigation, allowing us to implement a tailored, strategic path to success. As a result, we provide exceptional representation during all phases of complex commercial litigation, whether presenting our client’s position through effective written motions and briefs, oral advocacy to the court, or trial to a jury, judge or arbitration panel.
