Our Business Litigation Practice

We protect the rights of businesses and business owners as plaintiffs or defendants in commercial litigation, handling a broad range of claims including:

• financial services litigation. We represent banks, lenders and other entities in the mortgage lending and mortgage servicing industry, handling a broad range of claims, from breach of contract to wrongful foreclosure. See our page on mortgage servicing counsel to learn more.
• business torts. We handle a broad range of business torts, such as interference with contracts or a business relationship, unfair competition, violation of trade secrets and deceptive trade practices.
• commercial collections. We represent businesses and business owners who seek to recover moneys due or challenge attempts to wrongfully collect funds. We also handle creditors’ rights claims.
• breach of contract. We handle claims involving non-performance or substandard performance under any type of commercial agreement, such as employment, vendor, customer, ownership, confidentiality or non-compete agreements.
• real estate litigation. We represent businesses in disputes involving real property, including landlord-tenant controversies, breach of real estate contract and foreclosure actions.
• general business and corporate litigation. We protect the rights of businesses in most other types of disputes that may arise.

Though we have extensive litigation experience and are always ready and able to protect your rights in court, we also know how and when to seriously consider alternative means of dispute resolution, such as mediation, arbitration or negotiated settlements, when doing so will protect your interests.
