Civil and commercial litigation encompasses individual (consumer), corporate and business problem areas and include areas such as consumer fraud, will contests, shareholder derivative actions, contract disputes, and business breakups.
Our attorneys who practice in this area represent banks, businesses and individuals. While most of these cases involve interpreting agreements, whether oral or written, they can and often do interpret statutes like the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law.
Not only do we deal with businesses that are experiencing problems, but also individuals who are having problems dealing with businesses. Our attorneys are familiar with unique rules of interpretation of contracts and statutes which enable them to effectively represent their clients in and out of the courtroom.
We are also skilled in Alternative Dispute Resolution, which includes mediation, arbitration, face to face meetings, and other non-trial settlement techniques. These programs are valuable for clients because they not only save time and money, but can reduce the emotional demands often brought about by trials. Whatever the case may be, our attorneys are ready to meet the needs of their clients in this varied and complicated area.
