Everyday the chosen course of action to resolve many business disputes ends in the courts or before arbitration panels. Our main concern is the end result for our client. We work with each client on an individualized basis to assess the benefits and risks of litigation with in-house counsel at the beginning of every case.

When appropriate, we bring adversaries together, before litigation, to explore options available as alternatives to trial. If negotiation, mediation or settlement is appropriate, we explore all opportunities without compromising our client's ultimate objective.

The temptation to litigate, while compelling, should not be undertaken lightly, as it can prove to be both expensive and emotionally charged. There are times, however, when after careful deliberation, we advise the client that it is the preferred form of resolving disputes.

Services

Our attorneys use their knowledge of the law to reach the best possible outcome for our clients. Our litigation experts manage teams of lawyers experienced and familiar with matters related to a client's case. This process results in a comprehensive, integrated approach to each cause of action and legal issue, whether we are initiating or defending.

Our litigators are supervised by Supreme Court Board Certified Civil Trial Attorneys and appear in both state and federal courts regularly. Many have served as judicial clerks and from that experience gained important insights into the judicial perspective. As trial lawyers, we hone our skills by attending seminars in all practice areas to keep abreast of recent developments in case law and trial techniques.

Our experience includes complex, multi-party class action suits and we have routinely litigated multi-million dollar corporate and commercial cases.

Our litigatiors work closely with attorneys in other groups within the firm to provide a full range of legal services to each and every client. We regularly utilize attorneys in our corporate, real estate, banking, tax, and other groups to provide specific assistance when required.
