We handle a wide variety of business and personal litigation – particularly for antitrust and fraud victims. Our commercial litigation experience includes cases involving antitrust, banking, class action, consumer protection, director and officer liability, disgorgement, forfeiture, partnership, RICO, securities, shareholder derivative and unfair competition claims. Our high-stakes litigation practice also encompasses personal matters such as civil rights, estate and catastrophic personal injury claims.
We apply our trial experience to focus discovery and litigation over the issues that matter. Our targeted focus has proven highly successful and cost-efficient. The message that we convey to adversaries – our client is prepared to try the case — allows us to maximize settlement value at the earliest stage of the proceedings or obtain a verdict as quickly as possible. At the same time, this approach will minimize our client’s legal expenses by avoiding wasteful litigation.
Examples of our attorneys’ successes include:
- Attachment of proceeds derived from fraudulent credit instrument on behalf of a major financial institution with the bank ultimately obtaining a full recovery.
- Complete recovery of inheritance on behalf of beneficiary of an estate plus an award of attorneys’ fees and disallowance of an administrator’s statutory commission from an administrator who absconded with the estate’s assets.
- Multi-million dollar jury verdict in favor of client whose business was damaged by a supplier’s defective packaging material.
- Multi-million dollar jury verdict on a counterclaim for distributor’s wrongful termination of the parties’ distribution agreement.
- Pre-answer dismissal of a complaint alleging that an exchange of wage and salary information among competitors violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act.
- Summary judgment dismissing a complaint against a trade association alleging that the trade association had facilitated a group boycott and conspired to monopolize.
- Denial of a preliminary injunction motion seeking to enjoin expulsion of a partner and favorable settlement.
