We handle all forms of litigation and dispute resolution for plaintiffs and defendants, including bench and jury trials and appeals in state and federal courts, arbitration, and mediation. Our litigators practice in a full range of substantive areas, including shareholder and partnership disputes, construction law, issues involving intellectual property, unfair competition and unfair business practice, trade regulation, real estate and land use, bankruptcy, landlord/tenant, lender liability, sexual harassment, employment discrimination, and wrongful termination. Our litigation expertise ranges from prosecution of complex intellectual property and commercial cases for national and international corporations to local dispute representation for individuals and small businesses. We are fully prepared to take cases through trial and appeal, but where appropriate we encourage the use of early settlement and alternative dispute resolution techniques as a means of efficiently handling our clients' matters. Our litigators work closely with the Firm's other practice groups in litigation avoidance, risk management and pre-litigation strategy.
