About

Provided by Taft

Taft’s Commercial Litigation team consists of over 170 nationally and internationally recognized attorneys. We offer our clients a wealth of experience in the law and in the courts in which we practice, as well as a passion for using our experience to help solve client problems.

Our litigators represent public and private companies, municipalities and government bodies on a local, national and international scale. We are experienced with the full range of litigation issues that businesses encounter.
 
We regularly appear before tribunals throughout the U.S. We know the courts, their personnel and the jury pools from which fact finders are drawn. While we are prepared to aggressively try cases to verdict, alternatives like mediation may provide a more cost-effective solution to solving a problem. Our litigators have represented clients and acted as mediators and arbitrators in all forms of alternative dispute resolution forums.

We also work to minimize the risks and exposure of doing business in today's litigious world. Our attorneys work with our clients to define, assess and minimize litigation risks and to develop programs to help them comply with specific contractual requirements and with the laws and regulations that affect their business.
