Our Services + Our Team
As trusted advisors, our lawyers are often involved by clients soon after a dispute arises, before any lawsuit or arbitration demand is filed. Whether our role at that stage is direct or behind the scenes, our ultimate goal remains the same: a swift conclusion that meets the client’s business objectives. If the opposing party does not promptly come to terms or abandon its claims, we work to best position our client for potential litigation.
As forceful advocates, our lawyers have amassed an impressive track record of success, achieving very favorable results in hotly contested, sophisticated, multimillion-dollar business disputes, including bet-the-company cases and class actions. We have extensive experience taking cases to trial in federal and state courts, and in arbitrations, around the country, involving claims and issues such as the following:
- Breach of contract
- Fraud and misrepresentation
- Unfair and deceptive trade practices
- Antitrust, unfair competition, and tortious interference with business expectancies
- Misappropriation of trade secrets and other confidential information
- Consumer claims, particularly in the class action context
- Trademark, copyright, and patent infringement
- Data privacy and cybersecurity
