About

Provided by Shackelford, McKinley & Norton LLP

 

Shackelford is a regional law firm with a national litigation practice. We have earned a reputation for precise and meticulous handling of complex, high-exposure business disputes on both sides of the docket. Our commercial litigation team regularly represents companies and individuals facing contentious disputes of all sizes. These disputes may involve contract disputes and disagreements between business partners, as well as allegations of fraud and unfair competition. Our team has represented clients in a wide variety of disputes – relating to finance and investments, banking, oil and gas, real estate, entertainment, professional services, telecommunications, healthcare, securities, pharmaceuticals, consumer products and insurance.

We represent all types and sizes of business clients. While we often represent large companies, we’re not afraid to take on larger adversaries. Our lawyers help clients deal with breach of contract, trade secret, tortious interference, breach of fiduciary duty and other complex business tort claims. We are prepared and willing to try a case to the very end - if that is necessary. Due to our thorough preparation and resolve, this is often unnecessary, and we can help negotiate an efficient resolution. Many commercial and business cases can be resolved short of trial.

When trial is necessary, clients can count on meticulous preparation and our capacity for hard work.
