For several decades, our attorneys have helped individuals and growing businesses resolve complex legal problems both in and out of the courtroom. In the Courtroom – Many of the cases we are asked to handle (frequently by other lawyers) involve financial and accounting fraud, complex securities litigation, municipal bond defaults, price-fixing, unfair competition, covenants not to compete, sales of closely held businesses, business disputes, commercial transactions and consumer fraud. We represent both individuals and businesses, whether plaintiffs or defendants, in state and federal court, in class actions, individual litigation and in arbitration proceedings. In addition, other lawyers call on our experience to help mediate a "win-win" resolution of their cases. In the Boardroom - Our extensive litigation experience enables us to help clients avoid litigation when they retain us in connection with business formations or commercial transactions. We have litigated many cases for clients who could have avoided the courtroom had they hired a capable business attorney to counsel them with respect to the formation of their business or to properly handle their business transaction. That experience guides our business formation and transaction practice to help clients avoid unnecessary disputes that may lead to costly litigation. We also conduct internal investigations to help put a stop to problems before they become liabilities.
