Litigation & Disputes

Trial-ready representation in state and federal courts.

Most disputes settle. The ones that settle well are prepared as if they will go to trial. Our litigators build each case from the evidence up, so you negotiate from strength and stand ready if the other side does not move.

What we handle

  • Breach of contract and business torts
  • Shareholder and partnership disputes
  • Arbitration and mediation
  • Injunctions and emergency relief
  • Appeals in state and federal courts
  • Professional liability claims

Questions about litigation & disputes

How long will my case take?

Simple disputes can resolve in a few months. Contested litigation through trial usually takes 12 to 24 months. We give you a realistic timeline at the first meeting and update it as the case develops.

Will my case go to trial?

Fewer than one in ten of our matters reach a courtroom verdict. We prepare every case for trial because that preparation drives better settlements.
