Areas of Practice
contracts and business disputes
Contracts are the foundation of business. If thoughtfully andwell-designed, they can benefit both parties. If not, the results can be long lasting, lead to disputes and to expensive and lengthy litigation. We are experienced in litigating the disputes as well as how to best avoid them.
Competition and antitrust
Business practices that are unfair can violate state or federal antitrust and trade regulation laws. Companies often miss an opportunity to level the playing field and halt anticompetitive actions by competitors. We know how and when the law can protect your business from unfair legal issues.
Intellectual Property
Patents, trademarks and trade secrets can be essential for companies, but are often the subject of disputes. An understanding of what should be done to protect your intellectual property, or how to defend against a threat of enforcement, can make or break projects and businesses alike.
