Business Disputes
When a contract dispute arises we are often called upon by clients to advise them of their contractual rights and obligations and to represent their interests in mediation, arbitration and other forms of alternative dispute resolution proceedings that may be required under the contract. When alternative dispute resolution mechanisms are unavailable, our skilled and seasoned litigators represent clients in court proceedings involving contract disputes in many local and federal jurisdictions.
