About

Provided by Goldberg Segalla LLP

When facing litigation, industry knowledge matters. Our Commercial Litigation attorneys have experience representing clients across a broad range of industries including construction, insurance, manufacturing, retail and hospitality, food and beverage, and the energy sector.

Goldberg Segalla litigators handle everything from complex contractual matters and pressing regulatory issues to massive title disputes and bet-the-company litigation, serving businesses, senior executives, investors, and nonprofits nationwide. Our representation includes:

  • Class Actions and Shareholder Derivative Cases
  • Directors and Officers Defense
  • Real Estate Litigation and Title Disputes
  • White Collar Defense and Government Investigations
  • Unfair Competition and Antitrust Litigation
  • Bankruptcy, Restructuring, and Creditors’ Rights

Mindful of the costs and interruption to business that litigation can bring, we employ a variety of strategies to minimize or reduce litigation costs. That includes creative and results-oriented pre-suit negotiations, pre-answer motions to resolve disputes before they become full-fledged lawsuits, and participation in arbitration, mediation, or other alternative dispute resolution procedures. However, when litigation cannot be avoided on terms that are favorable to our clients, our seasoned litigators and trial attorneys use business-minded strategies to achieve our client’s desired outcome in the most efficient way possible.
