Areas of Practice

Breach of Contract

We represent major multinational corporations in complex breach of contract matters ranging from distributor relationships to franchise law and patent licensing agreements. Our deep understanding of our clients’ business objectives enables us to partner effectively with them to achieve those objectives through trial, arbitration and other forms of dispute resolution. We stand ready to defend complex contract disputes across a broad spectrum of legal specialties.

Complex Tort

Our litigation lawyers have the know-how and experience to defend today’s most complex tort cases, which often supplement traditional tort theories with claims such as fraud, conspiracy, unfair business practices or environmental violations.

Appellate

When the stakes are high, we get involved from the very beginning of a case to develop and implement overall litigation strategies. This approach helps us to comprehensively identify complex pre-trial issues, focus on preserving appellate complaints and handle important motions during and after the trial.

Fraud and Tortious Interference

Our extensive experience in fraud and tortious interference matters includes representation of both plaintiffs and defendants. Our litigation and trial experience provides an advantage to our clients in obtaining the optimal outcome at the earliest opportunity.

Product Liability

We have the knowledge, skills and experience to act as national counsel in their most important cases. Our thorough understanding of the intricacies of mass consumer actions and the many theories of liability available to the modern plaintiff, along with a comprehensive grasp of the tactics and motivations of plaintiff firms, is essential to our success in helping clients resolve complex legal matters.

Trade Secrets and Non-Compete Agreements

We represent clients in major trade secret matters, including situations involving departing employees, non-competes and inevitable use doctrine.
