Commercial Litigation
We handle an extensive range of contract and commercial disputes for numerous clients, including major real estate developers, large corporations, manufacturers, mortgage companies and financial institutions, as well as small businesses and individuals. Our litigators have handled complicated mortgage foreclosures, "lender liability" fraud claims, sophisticated business frauds, and numerous types of UCC-related matters, in addition to contract disputes in many substantive areas.
LITIGATION - CIVIL
Our Litigation practice is the largest area of practice in the firm, with more than 50 attorneys and legal assistants practicing throughout the state. Our litigators represent local, regional, national and international clients in all aspects of pretrial, trial, appellate and post-judgment proceedings in state and federal court civil proceedings as well as in administrative and arbitration hearings of all types. Our litigators are particularly skilled in handling difficult and protracted commercial litigation involving numerous parties and complex claims. Computerized legal research, litigation support systems and trained legal assistants, aid our trial lawyers in managing and controlling complicated cases.
Although we pursue every avenue to help our clients avoid disputes by consulting on litigation avoidance and in alternative dispute resolution, situations arise when it becomes necessary to either defend a position in court or to institute an action on behalf of a client. In those instances, our Firm’s highly experienced trial lawyers bring to bear the skill needed to provide aggressive, effective trial representation.
