Business Law
Over the years we have developed expertise in a wide range of legal areas. Our attorneys continue to develop and pursue new areas through continuing legal education, in which we participate as both instructors and students, through bar and other professional activities and through independent research. We protect your business ideas and investments by foreseeing problems, drafting documents to protect your business in transactions, and asserting your rights in litigation.

Disputes
Our attorneys can prevent disputes by preparing agreements and leases to help you grow your business while establishing your rights in your transactions. We draft and review your documents to foresee and avoid disputes. Occasionally, your opponent will be persuaded to agree to your position. If disputes arise, we are experienced in aggressive and proven litigation techniques. Our attorneys are experienced in all forms of alternative dispute resolution and focus on obtaining favorable terms for our clients. We are seasoned litigators who have handled lawsuits in real estate, landlord-tenant, employment, intellectual property, breach of contract, and personal injury. We also serve as mediators and arbitrators.
Intellectual Property
When you invent a new product, design a new process, create a trademark or trade dress, or author a work, you need to protect the future monetization of that intellectual property. Entrepreneurs rely on us to preserve, protect and enforce intellectual property rights through registration and litigation when necessary. Our attorneys can prepare trade secret documentation to establish internal controls and to prevent inadvertent disclosure.
