We work on significant commercial and corporate litigation disputes, often involving the company’s survival. These disputes require intense and focused initial action, including preservation orders, receiverships, civil search warrants, and injunctions. We work on cases involving multiple parties, concurrent proceedings, and across geographic jurisdictions. Sometimes, this also means working as a team with a foreign co-counsel.
These fights involve shareholder or partnership disputes, claims involving directors, proxy fights, shareholder dissents, significant collections and debt recovery, injunctions and claims for and against the government. These battles involve many complex, fine, and technical legal issues. They require experienced project management to direct major factual investigations.
The common thread common to these wars is that losing is not an option. We find the best way to meet your goal and do what it takes to reach it.
