experienced lawyers know the disruptive nature of litigation
We’ve appeared in court and before regulatory bodies on IP matters, contract disputes, privacy claims and security breaches. Because we’ve been around the block, we know how difficult it can be to resolve disputes. We bring over thirty years of litigation experience and business acumen to help settle matters of any level of complexity or sensitivity. Whether it’s before or in the middle of a lawsuit, we fight hard for your rights but in a way that can be used for positive change.
If you like to spend time and money fighting in court, we might not be your first choice. There are plenty of litigators who are happy to take all your money and drag you and your company through years of litigation. We consider litigation an obstacle to business success that really ought to be a last resort. It’s not fun and seldom does a party walk away from a lawsuit feeling truly satisfied. We’re different because we respect your business needs but we’re not afraid of the fight, and take that confidence into court and into our dispute resolution efforts.
Plus, we’ve been on both sides of the aisle, representing businesses as plaintiffs and as defendants, so we’re uniquely able to rein in biases you often find with mediators and arbitrators. And we’re not afraid to step into the breach against a formidable opponent, with our robust network of industry experts, international allies and legal service providers. Also, we offer competitive and flexible rates, and use the same creativity in structuring our fee as we do in resolving cases.
With our help you can:
Plan for disputes by writing smart contracts that spell out rights, obligations and dispute resolution processes that fit your appetite.
Set a tone for early resolution with adversaries when disputes arise.
Make or respond to demands for indemnity, contribution or action from existing or potential adversaries.
Resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration or early neutral evaluation.
When necessary, bring suit or respond to lawsuits filed against you.
Seek recompense from insurance carriers or other indemnity providers.
