Commercial Litigation

We handle a variety of litigation in a variety of areas. We approach business litigation with a practical eye – and the knowledge that the primary goal of a businessperson is to resolve the dispute effectively and with a minimum of time diverted from the operation of the business. We strive to learn the details of our clients’ businesses, to enable us to effectively advocate on their behalf – and resolve their disputes efficiently.

Collections

Many businesses face issues, one-time or ongoing, relating to collection of accounts from other businesses, or after a lawsuit, collection of a judgment. If litigation is the best option, we file a lawsuit and pursue it efficiently, with the ultimate goal not only of obtaining a judgment, but enforcing it as well. However, if mediation or arbitration is the best path to success, we will work with you to prepare your case to get the best result possible.

Contract Enforcement

A great deal of litigation between business entities involves contracts and agreements which have been crafted to establish the parties' rights and obligations, but which often need to be enforced, as well as interpreted. We have expertise in gathering and sifting through factual information necessary to evaluate breach of contract issues, and in focusing upon contract provisions which may need to be interpreted in litigation. This area of the law often requires in-depth analysis of the purpose of the contract and its provisions, as well as the conduct of the parties to determine their rights and obligations. When it is called for, we can litigate contract-based business disputes and provide practical counseling with respect to resolution of contract-based disputes in non-judicial forums such as mediation or arbitration.
