Skilled Advocacy in Complex Business & Commercial Litigation

Contract Disputes & Breach Claims

Contracts are the foundation of business relationships. The fallout can be immediate and severe when one party fails to meet its obligations. Whether involving service agreements, sales contracts, licensing deals, or supplier arrangements, our firm helps clients enforce their rights and pursue or defend against breach claims.

We also handle cases involving:

• Liquidated damages
• Specific performance
• Termination clauses and force majeure
• Ambiguity and misinterpretation

We approach each dispute with precision, evaluating the terms, identifying leverage points, and negotiating or litigating to protect your interests.

Professional Malpractice, Fraud, and Business Torts

Our attorneys handle claims involving investment fraud, accounting and legal malpractice, accounting irregularities, corporate espionage, and fraudulent inducement with expert investigation and strong advocacy. Fraud allegations can cause serious financial and reputational damage.

Breach of Fiduciary Duty

When corporate officers or directors violate their duties of loyalty or care, the impact can be severe. We help pursue or defend claims involving conflicts of interest, unauthorized transactions, and executive misconduct through thorough audits and litigation.

Class Actions and Multi-Party Business Disputes

Complex litigation involving multiple plaintiffs or claims requires careful coordination. Our team manages consumer class actions, securities litigation, mass commercial claims, and antitrust cases with strategic oversight and courtroom experience.

Securities & Financial Fraud

We represent clients in cases involving securities fraud, insider trading, and financial misstatements. Our firm combines legal expertise with forensic analysis to uncover wrongdoing and seek justice for investors and stakeholders.

Partnership & Shareholder Disputes

Conflicts between co-founders, partners, or shareholders can disrupt a company’s operations and value. We represent clients in minority shareholder oppression, business divorces, and LLC disputes to protect your investment and rights.

Whistleblowers

Protecting whistleblowers is vital in exposing corporate misconduct. We advocate for individuals who report fraud, regulatory violations, or unethical behavior, ensuring their rights and interests are defended throughout the process.

Bank & Financial Institution Misconduct

Banks and financial institutions can engage in practices harmful to clients and investors. We litigate cases involving deceptive and unlawful banking practices to hold institutions accountable.

Insurance Company Misconduct

When insurance companies act in bad faith or deny valid claims, businesses and individuals suffer. Our attorneys fight insurance bad faith and wrongful denial claims to secure the compensation our clients deserve.
