Litigation

Our clients are Fortune 100 corporations with global operations; some of the nation’s biggest franchises and distributors; well-known food, beverage and hospitality brands; regional and national health care organizations; colleges and universities; food growers, producers and related agribusiness companies; manufacturers; software and technology companies; privately held and family businesses; start-up and entrepreneurial ventures; and everything in between.

Our litigators work with clients to first understand their goals, objectives and desired outcomes for the matter, as well as financial considerations, working with our clients to achieve their goals – whether through trial in state or federal court or before an arbitration panel, or successful resolution through mediation or a direct resolution with the adverse party. By combining our knowledge of the law and our ability to quickly develop strategy, coupled with our focus on learning and implementing clients’ long- and short-term business and strategic goals, we help them balance myriad factors, including cost, reputation, public vs. private resolution, and more.

Whether “win at all costs” or a more conservative approach, we use a variety of technologies to offer the best possible service and efficiency. Using Web sites, intranets, extranets, virtual private networks, and other resources, we collaborate with clients to manage complex litigation throughout the country.
