Litigation & Alternative Dispute Resolution

Our team of experienced litigators and skilled litigation support personnel take a business-like approach to conflicts, considering all possibilities for an alternative dispute resolution. Our lawyers have successfully represented regional, national, and international clients in litigation matters involving:

  • Corporate banking,
  • Securities,
  • Bankruptcy,
  • Municipal law,
  • Environmental law,
  • Construction,
  • Product liability,
  • Insurance, and
  • Tax and intellectual property issues.

We act on disputes in all arms of our clients’ businesses, on matters large and small, in courts and in arbitration, mediation and other types of alternate dispute resolution.
