Complex Litigation
Trial work is the primary emphasis of several of our attorneys, and their courtroom skills are highly regarded by the legal community. Our attorneys are no strangers to major cases, having won and collected seven-figure judgments and settlements. Their trial skills are best evidenced by the fact many former jurors and opposing parties have selected our firm to represent them in court. By combining skill and hard work with a team approach, we are able to develop courtroom strategies that win more cases for our clients. The litigation team at our firm is involved in state and federal court systems involving both trial and appellate levels across a wide variety of industry areas. Our litigation team also is involved in commercial arbitration, mediation and alternative dispute resolution. Our complex litigation services include representation of both plaintiffs and defendants with business, corporate, personal injury, and property damage claims. We service corporations, limited liability companies, partnership, joint ventures, and individuals involving defense and prosecution of such claims as breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and tortuous interference with contract. We negotiate state and federal laws concerning trade secrets, unfair competition, RICO, labor and employment, and intellectual property rights. Through our unique approach to dispute avoidance and resolution, our clients are able to manage their litigation risks and reach their business objectives. Hopefully, they see us as valued counselors and not just another law firm.
Intellectual Property Litigation
Our Intellectual Property (“IP”) litigators are involved in assisting our clients to navigate claims and disputes in an effort to drive the litigation towards a successful resolution favorable to our clients. We are specialists in defending IP claims, with many of our litigators having defended them for decades and having preventing or reduced punitive damages claimed or statutory damages asserted. We have extensive experience using alternative dispute resolution, arbitration, and negotiated settlements, and if required, defending IP cases to conclusion in trial courts. We secure the assistance of technical advisors and experts with knowledge necessary to maximize our clients strengths. The often difficult work associated with directing IP litigation is not passed off to low level attorneys and staff but followed and managed directly by our senior litigators who have the knowledge and expertise to expedite favorable resolutions for our clients.
Arbitration and Mediation
Our attorneys represent clients in a full range of arbitrations and mediations. They have obtained broad experience with both processes as alternate dispute resolution has become more common in large business disputes. Since courts are also increasingly requiring mediation as a predicate to trial. You can trust our attorneys for in-depth knowledge of both a mediation strategy and the panels from which mediators are appointed. We explain the difference between arbitrations, mediations and traditional litigation, particularly if the client is faced with a choice of which method of dispute resolution to utilize. We review with our clients the frequently cited advantages and disadvantages of these forms of dispute resolution and do our best to dispel all myths about these processes. We then evaluate the particular matter in question to determine how the unique characteristics of each dispute resolution method can produce optimal results for our clients.
Bet the Business Litigation
A lawsuit can devastate a business. Whether it’s a vulnerable start-up, or an established company, sometimes a business’s survival depends upon the cost and outcome of a single lawsuit. We call these “bet the business” cases and most of them are highly confidential in nature. Bet the business cases require a different type of analysis of risk and reward beyond the day-to-day litigation. They are complicated, and many times involve multiple parties and complex discovery. When a business’s very existence depends upon victory, clients should not go to trial with inexperienced attorneys. Our bet the business attorneys are seasoned trial veterans who know how to run a case efficiently and present a winning argument.
Cyber Security Litigation
Our firm has experience in data privacy violations along with cyber security attacks. We can assist in preparing policies and procedures. If you are an individual who has been hacked and lost money on various financial platforms or through cyber financial fraud then we can assist you.
People have turned to bitcoin and other forms of cryptocurrency. With few to no laws, rules and regulations it is a new system filled with many problems and issues including hacking, fraud and outright theft.
Many crypto-platforms promise they are secure and insured and so any cryptocurrency such as bitcoins or dogecoins are safe. Many recent examples of hacking and massive theft are in the news everyday. The same platforms that promise security contain wraparound agreements when you sign up on the website which contain disclaimers, mandatory arbitration or mediation, no class actions permitted and limitations on liability. The same promises regarding insurance may be illusory.
