A significant portion of our practice is advising clients as to their potential liabilities and rights before litigation commences, assisting them in avoiding the costs, both monetary and in terms of lost time, of a lawsuit. When efforts to avoid litigation fail, the Firm has experience and expertise representing businesses on the various kinds of claims they may have or encounter. Business litigation often involves claims for breach of contract, including failure to pay and various means of pursuing collection (such as claim and delivery and replevin), failure of a party to perform its contractual promises, defective performance and breach of warranties and representations. The firm's attorneys are experienced in handling such claims both in court, in arbitration and in mediation. The firm also has substantial experience handling claims over business conduct that is alleged to be tortious or otherwise improper. Often these matters involve significant claims for compensatory damages and punitive or exemplary damages. The firm has represented both injured and accused parties in lawsuits involving claims of lender liability, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing (bad faith), fraud, misrepresentation, conversion, unfair competition, violation of non-competition agreements, breach of fiduciary duties, misappropriation of trade secrets and other intellectual property claims, interference with contract, interference with prospective economic advantage and other common law and statutory claims arising out of business practices.
