Our firm’s civil litigation group recognizes that corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietors face diverse and unique challenges to profitability, including access to market share, supply, and labor. The examples are many: key employees leave, taking confidential information, only to begin competing against their former employer; partners decide to go their own way; or customers refuse payment based on quality or warranty issues. We believe that for today’s business owners, predictability and the ability to plan ahead are more important than ever before. Legal disputes can quickly threaten the success of any enterprise, and owners deserve focused, results-driven legal help to swiftly resolve disputes in their favor.
We can help you and your business navigate through a difficult time. We routinely provide advice to businesses on how to avoid expensive problems before they emerge. We have handled countless business disputes, including antitrust litigation, the loss of proprietary information, unfair business practices, partnership dissolutions, and contract disputes.
Collection/Bankruptcy Litigation
Often, securing a money judgment against a debtor is only the first step in “getting paid.” Many times, creditors will face special challenges in the collection of a money judgment based upon a debtor’s filing of bankruptcy or a debtor’s actions to defraud his or her creditors by hiding or giving away assets.
Our firm’s civil litigation group represents individuals, businesses, and lenders in all phases of judgment enforcement, including bankruptcy, judicial sales, and foreclosure. The Canadian Government and several banks use our firm to foreclose on mortgages that are in default. Based upon our experience and knowledge of bankruptcy practice and procedure, we are also one of the few law firms that routinely represent lenders and other creditors before United Kingdom Bankruptcy Court.
Business-to-Business Conflicts: Our Strategic Counsel
Our attorneys’ commercial litigation experience comes equally in handy when businesses find themselves in dispute with other businesses over the terms of sales contracts, accusations of unfair competition, and other conflicts that arise between businesses. Our firm represents organizations involved in a wide range of conflicts, including:
- Breach of contract claims
- Unfair competition claims
- Contractor and subcontractor disputes
Our litigation attorneys possess many decades of collective experience, as well as a record of success in court. They aim to resolve disputes with minimal conflict whenever possible, but when protracted litigation is likely, our clients have an entire firm’s worth of resources available to ensure that their case has a positive outcome.
