We also handle residential and commercial real estate matters as well as class action defense.
Business Disputes
Our attorneys represent corporations, LLC's, sole proprietorships, partnerships, individual directors, officers, partners, shareholders and employees in litigation involving breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, self dealing, fraud, breach of restrictive covenants, infringement of intellectual property rights, related business torts and U.C.C. claims. We also handle matters relating to licensing, fraud and unfair business practices.

We handle a wide variety of claims involving directors and officers of public and private companies. Our services include representation of and consultation with insurance carriers for insureds involved in class action investor and shareholder derivative lawsuits as well as more common business tort litigations naming corporate directors and officers as defendants.
