Whether your business is a large, publicly-traded corporation or a sole proprietorship, operating in today’s business climate is incredibly challenging. We can help address those challenges, whether they involve:

• Breach of contract claims
• Disputes arising from sales of businesses
• Claims against corporate officers and directors
• Lender liability claims
• Claims arising from business failures
• Bankruptcy claims
• Trade secret and other intellectual property claims
• Product liability claims

We defend and prosecute litigation in federal and state courts on behalf of businesses and individuals in a wide variety of business areas, including the health care, high tech, manufacturing and service sectors, professional service providers, construction companies, utilities, self-insurance funds, casualty, property and health insurers, and companies owning, financing or operating commercial real estate.

Trade secrets and intellectual property are core assets of many successful business enterprises. Acquiring and protecting intellectual property can be complex and daunting. Our attorneys have a significant amount of experience in protecting and enforcing trade secrets, trademarks and copyrights, as well as advising clients on software licensing and Internet issues. We also handle cases involving claims against departing directors, officers or employees who compete with their former employers. We have both enforced and opposed covenants against competition.

Our attorneys can advise clients on a range of business insurance matters, including insurance insolvencies, reinsurance, regulatory proceedings and coverage disputes. Our business insurance clients include insured companies, national insurers, agents and brokers and third party administrators.

We also defend product liability litigation on behalf of manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Our attorneys have been involved in defending securities litigation and other class actions. We frequently represent clients in mediation and arbitration and counsel clients on how to avoid litigation.

We regularly serve as co-counsel to out-of-town attorneys and clients.
