RESOLVE
Your Challenge
Disputes distract from, and potentially can derail, the core mission of a business, but they are often unavoidable or strategically necessary. When this happens, our lawyers advise on the most expedient and efficient path to resolution, while keeping client business interests at the forefront. Whether through litigation, arbitration or trial, our lawyers provide sound counsel and strategic guidance to resolve your situation.

LITIGATION
While business disputes can be disruptive, they can often provide opportunity, and there may be times when litigation is needed to ensure that your business remains competitive. This could mean protecting trade secrets, responding to an SEC investigation, or pursuing a restrictive covenant action. When that happens, our lawyers guide clients through the various options to develop strategies that align with business objectives.

COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION
When commercial disputes are subject to arbitration, it is critical to have experienced counsel at your side. With deep understanding of the arbitration process, familiarity with the arbitrators and experience arbitrating matters through to final award, our lawyers guide clients through the entire arbitration process in both domestic and international venues.

TRIAL PRACTICE
Our Trial Group is a connected network of seasoned trial lawyers who have a record of achievement in trying and winning complex catastrophic loss and “bet-the-company” cases before juries, judges and arbitrators. We have earned the trust of clients through not only our accomplishments but also in understanding that successful outcomes require that trial preparation begins at the outset of a dispute to best leverage all available defenses and claims.
Dedicated. Creative. Client-Focused. Problem Solvers.
These are a few ways clients describe our lawyers. We work hard every day to live up to those standards by providing clients with strategic legal counsel and sound business advice.
MAXIMIZE
Your Opportunity
Opportunities present themselves to businesses in many forms — strategic mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures; licensing of intellectual property rights; financing of real estate; restructuring or reorganizing a business; or litigating complex issues. No matter what the opportunity, our lawyers' well-honed skills and experience help clients meet their business objectives.

CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS
Our lawyers assist clients entering into complex business transactions. We help entrepreneurs seeking to form companies and raise capital and counsel established companies looking to grow through acquisitions or strategic alliances. We negotiate and draft sophisticated contracts to protect our clients’ businesses and further their strategic goals.

LICENSING AND IP PROTECTION
Our lawyers advise clients in acquiring, protecting, and monetizing intellectual property rights and litigating or amicably resolving disputes to protect those rights. From patent prosecution, to licensing and technology transfers, to due diligence, our lawyers help ensure that IP portfolios remain protected and valuable assets.

REAL ESTATE FINANCE
We help sophisticated lenders in extending, modifying, and selling large real estate loans. Our lawyers have deep experience in the intricacies of all aspects of real estate finance and help our clients to protect their interest in these complex transactions.

FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING AND BANKRUPTCY
Our bankruptcy lawyers understand the sophisticated financial relationships between creditors, equity holders, and debtors and devise and implement strategies to maximize the benefits to our clients. We regularly represent clients in bankruptcy courts throughout the country.

LITIGATION
Litigation presents opportunities for clients to vindicate their rights and reputations and to protect their property interests. Whether our clients are defendants or plaintiffs, we develop and implement strategies and leverage the substantial litigation and trial experience of our attorneys to meet client objectives.
