Distinguished litigators, we thrive in the courtroom. But our sole focus is delivering the best possible outcome for our clients, whether taking a case to verdict, securing a valuable settlement through negotiation, or resolving a matter through arbitration.
Our teams bring proven success at handling sophisticated, high-stakes commercial disputes in state and federal courts across the country and across a range of industries and issues.
We have an outstanding track record in cases demanding a high degree of financial and commercial knowledge, having both represented and been adverse to public corporations, private companies, and major financial institutions. Our national reputation for excellence has been earned successfully resolving a wide variety of issues, including: complex breaches of contract and business torts; valuation disputes; founder and partnership disputes and other business divorces; securities litigation, including breaches of financial instruments, the protection of investor rights, and other claims arising from the sale or purchase of securities or businesses; disputes with vendors and suppliers; and real estate litigation on behalf of brokers, bankers, property owners, condominium boards and investors.
Always trial-ready, we recognize that litigation is often not the most cost-effective way to obtain the right result and prioritize finding the most practical, efficient and value-added solution to a business dispute.
