Leader: Irvin D. Gordon

Our Business Litigation attorneys have extensive experience litigating a wide range of commercial disputes in the state and federal trial and appellate courts, in court-mandated and privately-arranged alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") proceedings, and in regulatory matters before both state and federal administrative agencies. Depending on the nature of the case, we work collaboratively with our clients, in-house counsel, and our business attorneys to identify key issues and develop an effective strategy for resolution. Recognizing the potential high cost, distraction and risk of protracted litigation, our Business Litigation attorneys work creatively and energetically to identify and structure cost-effective and confidential solutions to resolve disputes, before and after litigation has begun. Our trial skills, knowledge of courtroom technology and practical judgment have allowed us to achieve excellent results for our clients both in and outside of the courtroom.
