Practice Areas & Legal Definitions

Litigation

We try cases.

We are not afraid to go to trial and our clients – and their adversaries- know it. We are accustomed not only to trying cases but to delivering the results our clients want and that cases merit. In many situations of course, settlement may be the best option. In those situations, our reputation and track record should enhance our clients’ chances for a favorable settlement.

We handle disputes in every forum, from state and federal trial and appellate courts to domestic and international arbitrations, and from alternative dispute resolution proceedings to administrative tribunals of all kinds. Our approach takes into account all available tactics, weighing the relative effectiveness, risk and cost of each.

Frequently Asked Questions

The following information includes frequently asked business law questions. The answers stated are general in nature and are not intended to apply to every situation. Each case is different and carries its own set of circumstances that must be taken into consideration by competent legal counsel.

What is business litigation?
Business litigation involves business people representing a variety of industries on local, state and federal levels in matters pertaining to such diverse areas as:

• Business Torts: including commercial defamation; trade dress, patent or trademark infringement (including Lanham Act suits); interference with contractual or economic relations; breach of fiduciary duty; fraud and misrepresentation; unfair and deceptive trade practices and other conduct or claims that affect the success of a business.
• Class Actions: including securities fraud, commercial and tax issues, and minority shareholder rights.
• Contracts: such as a service contract with a primary vendor, an output contract with a key supplier, a sales contract with an important customer, or any other kind of written or oral agreement.
• Professional Malpractice: accountants, architects, engineers, doctors and lawyers all face the risk of malpractice claims that can jeopardize business, reputation and finances.
• Securities and Antitrust: claims involving securities and investments, claims arising under federal law--for example, Rule 10b-5, the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act--or state securities laws.
• Shareholder and Corporate Governance: shareholder inspection rights, duties of directors and officers, conflicts of interest, derivative actions, business judgment rule defenses, change of control provisions, dissent and appraisal proceedings, involuntary and judicial dissolution, minority shareholder rights and claims, and valuation of closely held corporations.
• Telecommunications: technical and industry-specific issues, including issues arising out of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

What do business law lawyers do?
Business law encompasses rules, statutes, codes, and regulations that are established to govern commercial relationships and provide a legal framework within which business law attorneys may help you conduct and manage your business.

Business law attorneys help you with every aspect of highly diverse business law including areas like: banking and finance law, business formation and organization, business negotiations, business planning, transactional business law, acquisition, merger, divestiture and sale of businesses, and business litigation, as well as environmental, intellectual property, labor and civil law areas.

What are some of the most common types of business organizations?
The most common types of business organizations include:

• Sole Proprietorship: you are the only owner of the business.
• Partnership: can take the form of a regular partnership, a general partnership, limited partnership or limited liability partnership.
• Corporation: the default form of a corporation is a C Corporation (also known as Subchapter C Corporation). Smaller corporations typically file for the S Corporation (Subchapter S) tax election so they are not double taxed.
• Limited Liability Company (LLC): a hybrid formation that provides personal liability protection similar to a corporation, with the flexibility and tax advantages of a single proprietorship or partnership.

What is a nonprofit corporation?
A nonprofit corporation (whether incorporated or as an unincorporated association) is an organization in which no part of the income is distributable to its members, directors, or officers. The corporation is not prohibited from making a profit; the prohibition is the distribution of any profits to members, officers, or directors of the organization. Nonprofit corporations are formed pursuant to state law. Nonprofit corporations must apply for exempt status, both at the federal and state level.

A nonprofit corporation formed under IRS code Section 501(c)(3) may be formed and organized to operate for some religious, educational, literary, charitable, or scientific purpose. It must be noted that a nonprofit corporation may also be formed for other purposes pursuant to various other sections of the IRS code.

Should I hire a business law attorney?
It's obvious that you should hire a business attorney if you're being investigated for securities fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or a customer is severely injured by one of your products or on your premises. But, there are a lot of not so obvious reasons to retain a business law attorney.

For example, are you planning on forming a corporation or partnership? A business law attorney can avert a lot of legal issues that can arise with forming these types of businesses and he or she can advise you on the best business formation for your needs. A business law attorney can also help research any possible intellectual property issues and issues relating to hiring employees, tax issues and other legal matters that can arise with forming and running a business.
