Business Litigation Services
When running a business, litigation can interfere with
your operations, disrupt busy schedules, and cost your
business both time and money. Our attorneys work with
clients to minimize the corporate costs associated with
litigation. We provide creative litigation strategies to
help you resolve complex problems and compromise
expensive legal disputes before precious resources are
expended. We understand the need for meticulous
attention to detail in order to successfully give
clients the results they are looking for.
Unfortunately, litigation is sometimes unavoidable.
Whether a lawsuit from a former employee, a business
dispute with a competitor, an intellectual property
claim, or a conflict with a vendor, we can provide your
business with diligent and aggressive representation. In
addition, our attorneys can serve as local counsel for
those clients that may be located out of the area and
who want an experienced and qualified attorney
representing their interests.
The following are examples of the types of business
litigation services we provide:
• Breach of Contract
In an ideal world, businesses enter into
agreements and everyone carries out their contractual
obligations. In the real world, however, disputes
arising from contractual obligations arise on a daily
basis, be it from a misunderstanding of contractual
terms, a failure to agree to specific terms or a simple
decision by one or more parties not to perform. The firm
has extensive experience handling such matters and has
obtained several multi-million dollar judgments for
clients bringing claims for breach of contract.
• Partnership and Shareholder Disputes
Changing interests, allegations of fraud,
disagreements over the direction of a business, or
misunderstandings as to compensation are among the
issues that lead to shareholder and partnership
disputes. The firm handles all matters related to
corporate governance, shareholder and partnership
litigation, including dissolution, breach of fiduciary
duty and accounting.
• Unfair Competition and Fraud
Disputes in business relationships are almost
inevitable and can have a significant impact on your
bottom line. One tool relied upon by consumers and
competitors is to allege claims for unfair business
practices that carry the seed to severely impact a
busines' bottom line. Our lawyers have extensive
experience handling simple and complex unfair
competition, including the defense of several large
companies in class action suits.
• Intellectual Property Disputes
Our lawyers have extensive experience in both
prosecuting and defending claims and issues related to
copyright, trademark, trade secret and unfair
competition matters, including software, internet, and
other technology-related disputes for business in
federal and state courts and before the United States
Patent and Trademark Office.
• Lender & Borrower Disputes
The firm has extensive experience representing
both lenders and borrowers in regard to lending disputes
and related litigation. The firm has obtained several
large judgments and settlements on behalf of lenders,
including a recent $11.8 million dollar verdict against
a borrower and guarantors for failing to use loan
proceeds as agreed. The firm also represents commercial
and personnel borrowers who have fallen behind in their
loan payments or breached their payment obligations. The
firm is well experienced representing both lenders and
borrowers in such instances and is uniquely positioned
to assist borrowers in efficiently resolving recovery
actions instituted against them.
• Employment Discrimination & Harassment
We represent business owners and employees who
face issues such as discrimination, sexual harassment
and violation of employment agreements.
• Commercial Lease Disputes
Among the issues that arise between landlords
and lessees are options to extend the lease term,
disputes related to percentage rent and damage claims.
• Investment Fraud
The firm represents brokerage firms, broker dealers and
investment brokers throughout Southern California in
FINRA arbitrations and related legal proceedings. |
