We Take Pride in Our Clients’ Business

To effectively advocate for our clients and understand their needs and objectives, we recognize the importance of appreciating their businesses and aspirations. In navigating complex business litigation, close collaboration with our clients is paramount. We delve not only into their cases but also into their industries and unique enterprises. Litigation inherently involves contention and stress, coupled with inherent risks in every lawsuit.

We take pride in maintaining enduring relationships with our longstanding clients and aim to cultivate such bonds with new clients as well. Our commitment to building strong client relationships not only benefits them but also enhances our ability to address their challenges effectively.

Our diverse clientele spans various industries, including:

  • Agriculture
  • Architecture
  • Aviation
  • Banking
  • Engineering
  • Finance
  • Government
  • Infrastructure
  • Manufacturing

Our Approach to Business Litigation Matters

Our single goal is to achieve the best result possible for our clients in the most cost-effective manner. To achieve our goal, we maximize the use of the many attorneys within our division and pair the client with the best lawyer capable of handling their case. When required, we work as a team to achieve the desired result. 

Since we are always mindful of the cost of litigation to our clients, we look for innovative and advantageous ways to resolve cases. Settlement options are explored, and if beneficial to our clients, are pursued; however, if resolutions short of a trial are not advantageous, we handle the case through trial and appeals if necessary. We handle cases directly but have also enjoyed working with out-of-state attorneys to assist them as local counsel for their clients. Likewise, when necessary, we use other attorneys within our firm to guide in specific areas where their law knowledge benefits the client in the litigation.

Our attorneys have a wide range of experience, with some having 25 years or more “in the trenches.” Over the years, many of our attorneys have been recognized for their successes as business litigators. We rely on this experience to decide the best course of action for each client and work closely with the client to achieve the best possible outcome.
