Aimee Furness

Career

Aimee Furness represents entities involved in a range of commercial litigation issues, including actions based on tortious interference, breach of contract, and breach of fiduciary duty. She has tried cases to judgment in both state and federal courts before both judges and juries. Clients turn to Aimee in connection with bankruptcy litigation, real estate and construction litigation (including condemnation matters, landlord/tenant disputes, property-related disputes, and oil and gas issues) and franchise and distribution litigation (including trademark infringement, breach of non-competition agreements, and breach of license agreements and trademark ownership).

Aimee takes a distinctive approach to serving her clients’ litigation needs, whether they’re seeking victory in a “bet the company” case or fending off a meritless or frivolous claim. Having earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Math, Aimee understands that the story of a litigation is ultimately built on data. She enjoys jumping into case documents, digging into facts, and uncovering information that will benefit her client. Taking no adversarial premise at face value, Aimee challenges weaknesses in opposing counsels’ cases to position her clients most advantageously.

Aimee’s clients appreciate her uncommon responsiveness – she generally gets back to clients within minutes – and her keen litigation strategy, which she employs both in and out of the courtroom, and before and during trials. Aimee understands that well-written contract can significantly limit a client’s liability in a dispute; her knowledge of frequently litigated clauses (and the potential outcomes in those disputes) allows her to provide clients with pre-litigation counseling on potential contracts.
