Business and commercial disputes arise in a variety of contexts and for a variety of reasons. If you’re an entrepreneur or business manager in today’s competitive environment, it is inevitable that you will face a legal dispute with someone, whether it is an investor, competitor, customer, lender, former employee, supplier or landlord. These disputes can prove costly and disrupt your business if you are not getting sound legal advice from a lawyer who understands your business and puts your interests first. My goal always is to work closely with my business clients to understand their goals and needs, and to prepare the best possible strategies for getting these disputes resolved effectively and efficiently.
I will actively pursue negotiated resolutions and alternatives to litigation when possible. However, in the event a lawsuit or arbitration is required, I’m an experienced and passionate advocate.
I have represented clients in a wide range of business and commercial disputes in the state and federal courts including:
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Intellectual property
- Trade secret misappropriation
- Fraud
- Insurance coverage
- Uniform Commercial Code matters
- Consumer protection
- Landlord/tenant disputes
- Employee matters
- Violation of non-compete and non-disclosure agreements
- Employment discrimination and harassment
- Breach of contract
- Shareholder disputes
- Unfair competition
- Business torts
- Creditor’s rights
In every case, I strive to resolve matters as quickly and efficiently as the legal process allows. You can be assured that my goal is to protect your business and your rights, and that you will receive the personalized attention and representation your legal matter demands.
