Business Litigation
Throughout our long history, Robinson & Cole has assisted business interests of all types in resolving their disputes. Today, members of our Business Litigation Group carry on that rich tradition every day in trial courts and before appellate panels around the country.We are known for trying cases. All of the partners in our group have more than 10 years of experience handling these claims, and our members include Fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers. This reputation accrues to our clients' benefit. For example, during the pretrial stage, we conduct the discovery needed to prepare for trial rather than slavishly following the conventional wisdom. Our adversaries quickly realize we are ready to try our case immediately. They will factor in this point when evaluating settlement. If a case cannot, or should not, settle, we are primed to go to verdict. Our focus on being prepared, responsive, and able to vindicate your company's rights at trial will serve your business interests at every stage of the process.
Robinson & Cole understands that the demands of litigation can impose a serious drain on financial and managerial resources. Accordingly, we work with our clients to minimize litigation risks, reduce dispute resolution costs, and preserve important business relationships. Our goal is to protect our clients' rights while conserving their valuable time and resources. As part of this goal, and if appropriate, we guide our clients' consideration of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration. The substantial cases we handle are as varied as the companies we represent. We endeavor to understand the complexities of your business to best represent your interests at trial, on appeal, or in alternative dispute resolution. As a practical routine, we continually collaborate with the attorneys from related practice groups to provide the most detailed, most efficient, and most client-centric counsel.
Business litigation encompasses claims of contract breach; business torts such as fraud, misrepresentation, conversion, and interference with contract; unfair and deceptive trade practices; RICO violations; securities and antitrust violations; and intellectual property claims. All of these types of claims take on added complexity and risk when asserted in the context of a class action. Our group members have extensive experience handling the difficult and unique challenges presented by class actions. In addition, we regularly partner with clients in appropriate instances to bring loss recovery actions.
