Litigation Services
Our litigators offer a full suite of litigation services relating to commercial law matters—everything from counseling clients on strategies to minimize the risk of litigation, to representing clients from the initiation of a lawsuit through trial and, if necessary, on appeal.
Members of our Litigation team represent clients in commercial disputes in the state and federal court systems, as well as before arbitral tribunals and administrative agencies. They regularly try and win cases before courts, juries, and arbitration panels, as well as negotiate favorable settlements for clients. Our litigators bring a common-sense, business-oriented approach to litigating and resolving cases, which focuses on maximizing results for our clients and minimizing cost. The litigators in our Commercial Law Group specialize in assisting clients with commercial disputes involving supply and distribution agreements, sales of goods governed by the Uniform Commercial Code and Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, secured transactions, finance leases, and intellectual property, among other areas.
