Our Practice
We are trial-ready and welcome difficult, high-stakes matters and the intellectual rigor that they require. We understand that every client, and every matter, is unique, so our team builds focused, business-minded strategies tailored to the client’s goals, whether that means taking a case to trial, resolving it early, or navigating arbitration. We pair deep subject-matter expertise with courtroom experience to secure decisive, cost-conscious outcomes in complex and evolving legal landscapes.
Complex Commercial Litigation
The firm handles the full gamut of high-stakes complex commercial disputes, including breaches of contract, fraud, business torts, and other commercial matters. The firm represents clients in state and federal courts across the country, as well as foreign and domestic arbitrations.
The firm has substantial experience representing clients across myriad industries, including healthcare, life sciences, insurance, financial services, cloud computing, and real estate, and that range from individual entrepreneurs to multinational corporations. We draw on this breadth of experience to navigate our clients through difficult matters from the first hint of a disagreement through every stage of civil proceedings, including drafting pleadings, motion practice, fact discovery, preparing expert witnesses, trial, and, if necessary, appeal.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Both by agreement and judicial decree, alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration, mediation, and negotiation, is increasingly a complement to traditional litigation. We recognize that ADR is not merely litigation by other means or simply a compromise, and instead leverage the strengths of these disciplines and tailor our approach to achieve quick and cost-effective outcomes for our clients.
Creditors’ Rights
The firm leverages deep expertise in bankruptcy and insolvency law to represent clients in the most demanding restructuring and financial distress scenarios. We handle fraudulent-transfer and preference actions, breaches of fiduciary duty, equitable subordination, alter-ego and veil-piercing claims, turnover proceedings, lender and claims disputes, and related commercial litigation. Drawing on trial and appellate experience and deep insolvency expertise, we move swiftly to protect recoveries and preserve value.
Government Investigations
We have represented individuals and entities in connection with actions and investigations brought by the Department of Justice, various state attorneys general, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, and other regulatory bodies.
Increasingly, investigations involve coordination between multiple governmental bodies, or arise in the shadow of civil litigation, and therefore pose unique challenges. Fortunately, the firm is adept at managing these tightrope circumstances and orchestrating a coordinated, pragmatic response that protects not only our client’s legal interests, but also its hard-earned reputation and goodwill.
