Unfortunately, it’s likely that at some point you will encounter a contract dispute and need quality legal representation to litigate the matter.
• Breach of contract — In broad terms, a breach of contract occurs when one party fails to meet his/her contractual obligations. A breach can involve one party not performing or refusing to perform as called for in the contract or one party acting in such a way as to prevent the other party from fulfilling his/her contractual obligations.
• Securities litigation — Large public companies and liability carriers for directors and other top-level executives often need quality representation in federal securities cases.
• Business fraud — Litigation involving business fraud can stem from the purchase or sale of a business, or other transaction.
• Unfair competition — These lawsuits can stem from a former employee misappropriating trade secrets or other confidential business information.

We know time is money in the business world, so we strive to resolve legal matters as efficiently as possible. The cost of traditional litigation can be prohibitive and isn’t always the right route. Fortunately there are various means of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration, that can potentially deliver the same remedies quicker and at less cost.

We have settled thousands of lawsuits prior to trial, saving our clients expenses and getting their businesses back on track as soon as possible.
