About

Provided by Much Shelist, P.C.

Litigation is a tool for solving corporate problems – not merely a transaction or a means to an end. Much attorneys will defend your position in disputes in federal and state trial courts, appellate courts, religious courts, arbitration forums, and mediations.

Clients include private and public companies and high-net-worth individuals in a broad range of business disputes. Clients come from many industries, including consumer products, restaurants and hospitality, manufacturing, distribution, real estate, pharmaceuticals, equipment, commercial landscaping, home security, and more.

Because nearly 99% of cases are settled before trial, many commercial litigators skillfully handle discovery and then immediately pursue the motion or settlement process. They often have little trial experience. Much is different. Its attorneys may position cases for settlement or arbitration when doing so is in the best interest of clients, but they also try cases when that is the preferred strategy. Their experience as trial lawyers makes them better negotiators.
