Litigation
Our litigation practice covers the spectrum of business relationships. Its variety parallels the assortment of commercial ventures and arrangements in which our clients are involved.
Because of the variety of litigation matters we have handled, we have experience with the breadth of remedies that are sought in business cases. From lost profits to receiverships to injunctions to specific performance to an array of consequential damages claims, we are prepared to creatively and persuasively present and defend claims based on these theories. Our commercial litigation practice covers:
Breach of contract. The fundamental type of dispute involved is, one way or another, the classic breach of contract or agreement, with its many permutations. We have prosecuted and defended claims in matters related to contract disputes.
Business torts. We handle a variety of business torts claims, including negligent misrepresentation, fraud, concealment, conversion, and breach of fiduciary duty.
Construction dispute resolution. We have experience in preparing, presenting, prosecuting and defending construction disputes involving liability for defective design, delay and disruption claims, terminations for default, interference claims, backcharges, change orders, bidding and award disputes, protests, labor, lost productivity, cost escalation, construction failures, warranties, insurance claims, and mechanics' liens.
Employment. We represent both employers and employees in a broad range of non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreement cases, employment discrimination actions and wrongful termination claims. We fashion strategies for employers calculated to win - whether through litigation, arbitration, mediation or settlement - by thoroughly analyzing claims of sex, age, race and handicap discrimination, or wrongful termination, and by demonstrating our clients' adherence to the letter and intent of the laws at issue. We also represent the interests of executives and employees who are negotiating employment and severance agreements or asserting termination-related claims.
Financial. We can handle various types of litigation in which banks and other financial institutions may become involved, both as plaintiffs and as defendants, including lender liability cases.
Real estate litigation. We represent buyers, sellers, developers, landlords, tenants and owners in a wide variety of real estate disputes. |
