Business Lawsuits

We guide cases from start to finish, with a scholar’s knowledge of law and procedure. We remain ready to take a case to trial – which means we settle a case only when we can do so on favorable terms. Last year alone, we earned a number of high-six-figure settlements by being ready to present our case to a jury.

But more importantly, we help our clients articulate what they really care about in litigation. Besides money, commercial litigation clients consider vindication, right and wrong, and public relations. Even when it does come down to money, each client has very different views on risk and return.

Too often, attorneys take a cookie-cutter approach to even high-stakes litigation, without regard to what the client is thinking and feeling. This is especially true of large law firms, which specialize in endless skirmishing and sparing no expense – usually followed by a settlement that probably could have been achieved a lot earlier.

We’re different. While always ready for a fight, we maintain cordial relations with opposing counsel and explore every opportunity to settle, work together to control costs and look for innovative solutions. That means representation that’s smart, flexible, efficient and fairly priced.

We know what it’s like to have legal issues and legal bills. That’s why, unlike other lawyers, we’re not weighed down by an out-dated approach to legal services. We operate in the real world and so only charge for real work, which means you can comfortably call us to raise ideas and concerns without the meter constantly running. Reflecting our flexibility and modern approach, we are also enthusiastic about alternatives to the billable hour – such as contingency, reverse contingency, fixed fees and creative hybrids.
