Commercial disputes demand counsel who can read a balance sheet as fluently as a brief. Our business litigation attorneys represent plaintiffs and defendants in matters including:
Contracts are the framework of every business relationship, and contract disputes are the most common form of commercial litigation. We represent companies enforcing agreements and defending against claims — supply and service contracts, purchase agreements, licensing arrangements, and more. Our colleagues in corporate and business law inform our reading of complex deal documents, and our litigators turn that understanding into leverage.
Robert J. Kaufman helped preserve his client’s victory when the U.S. Supreme Court denied G. I. Apparel, Inc.’s petition for certiorari, bringing the company’s effort to obtain further review to a close. The result reflects strategic appellate advocacy focused on protecting a favorable judgment at the nation’s highest court. G. I. Apparel, Inc. v. Litsky, No. 05-1369 (U.S. May 30, 2006)

Resolution
Business litigation covers disputes arising from commercial relationships — contracts, partnerships, fiduciary duties, fraud, competition, and trade secrets. It includes claims brought by businesses and against them, in court or arbitration.
It depends on your leverage, the relationship, and the economics of the dispute. We often begin with a demand and structured negotiation, but preparing credibly for litigation usually produces better settlement terms.
Often, yes. Many ownership disputes resolve through negotiated buyouts, restructured governance, or mediated settlements. We pursue outcomes that protect the enterprise whenever that aligns with your goals.
Act quickly. Preserve evidence, limit further access to sensitive information, and consult counsel about your options, which may include immediate injunctive relief. Delay can weaken both your claims and remedies.
