Our attorneys have significant experience in prosecuting and defending a broad range of business and commercial litigation. These cases range from contractual disputes between companies to tortious acts committed by one company upon another. Through aggressive preparation and investigation we have prevailed for our business and commercial clients at dispositive motions, mediation and trials. We have experience litigating business disputes alleging lost profits, business failure due to a contractors’ improper workmanship or supply of defective goods, fraud-in-representations inducing investment, and bailment issues. We also have experience in the enforcement and defense of anti-competition, confidentiality, and proprietary-materials clauses in employment agreements.

Of course, often the best resolution to a dispute is one that does not involve litigation. Our firm frequently has advised business clients of their rights and responsibilities to facilitate a prompt agreement to resolve a dispute without the need for a trip to court. Being fully prepared to litigate, however, may be the most effective leverage in negotiating a favorable outcome.

Our attorneys are familiar with commercial paper, lender liability, and real-estate transactions and have experience in collection cases and litigation of claims in bankruptcy, zoning, licensing, and other administrative/regulatory matters. With the recent establishment of the “Business Court” in Boston (Suffolk County), we are well-situated to achieve favorable results for clients in business disputes.
