  • Partner/shareholder and LLC member conflicts, buy‑sell enforcement, fiduciary claims.
  • Trade secrets, confidentiality, non‑compete and non‑solicit enforcement or defense.

How we approach business disputes

Pragmatic, not performative. We build leverage early and choose the shortest path to a durable result—whether that’s negotiation, ADR, or trial.

  • Early merits assessment: strengths, weaknesses, damages, and realistic endpoints.
  • ADR when sensible: mediation/arbitration to control cost and time without sacrificing outcomes.
  • Injunction readiness: preserve status quo, stop misuse of IP, or prevent asset transfers.
  • Discovery discipline: targeted e‑discovery, protective orders, and privilege preservation.
  • Trial‑ready posture: credible litigation pressure to improve settlement positions.

Process & timeline—built to move, not stall

  1. Intake & fact map: contracts, emails, and damages picture; preserve key evidence.
  2. Pleadings & early motions: claims/defenses, TRO/preliminary injunction if needed.
  3. Discovery: targeted requests, e‑discovery protocols, depositions, experts.
  4. Dispositive motions: summary judgment or partial rulings to narrow issues.
  5. Negotiation/ADR: mediation or arbitration sessions with settlement modeling.
  6. Trial & enforcement: verdicts, judgments, injunction compliance, collections.

Timelines depend on court calendars, complexity, and ADR. We set milestones early and update as the matter evolves. For a neutral primer on summary judgment, see the Legal Information Institute at law.cornell.edu .

Business Litigation FAQs

Straight answers to help you decide next steps with clarity and confidence.

Will my case settle?
Many do, but we prepare as if going to trial to strengthen your negotiation position. Settlement becomes a strategic choice—not a default—once we’ve built leverage through motions, discovery, and credible trial readiness.
How long will it take?
Court calendars, motion practice, discovery scope, and ADR all affect timelines. We set an initial milestone plan and update it as the case evolves so you know what’s next and why.
Can we recover attorney’s fees?
Sometimes. Contracts or statutes may allow fee shifting. We evaluate the avenues early and factor fee exposure into negotiation strategy and risk assessments.
Do arbitration clauses stop me from suing in court?
An enforceable arbitration clause usually requires arbitration, but scope and validity can be contested. We analyze the contract language, applicable rules, and strategy implications before action.
What documents should I gather first?
Contracts, amendments, statements of work, key emails, invoices, payment records, board minutes, and related policies/handbooks. We’ll provide a tailored evidence checklist after intake to streamline discovery.
Can we get emergency relief to stop the other side now?
In appropriate cases, courts can issue temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions. We evaluate urgency, bond requirements, and evidentiary support to act quickly and effectively.
