Inside the firm
Practice

Business litigation.
Nothing else.

We don’t do divorces, DUIs or wills. Every hour we work is spent on commercial disputes, which is why opposing counsel takes our calls seriously.

Commercial contracts+

When a deal goes wrong: breach, non-payment, failed deliveries and broken warranties.

Partnership & shareholder disputes+

Deadlocks, buyouts, dissolutions and fiduciary duty claims between owners.

Trade secrets & non-competes+

Fast injunctions when employees or competitors walk off with what you built.

Real estate litigation+

Leases, construction defects, title disputes and failed closings.

Fraud & business torts+

Misrepresentation, interference and unfair competition claims.

Appeals+

Protecting a win, or fixing a loss, in state and federal appellate courts.
