Commercial Dispute Resolution Attorneys

Advocacy and Realistic Expectations

Modern day litigation is very expensive and time consuming. That is a reality that can work for you or against you depending upon the case and the resources available to you and your opponent. Our commercial dispute resolution attorneys  consider numerous avenues for resolving business disputes, including:

• Mediation
• Negotiation
• Arbitration
• Litigation

Our dispute resolution lawyers believe it is our responsibility to provide expert legal advice but the final decision(s) always rest with our clients. It is our job to advocate for the client and effectively present their case; our clients provide the information and internal resources necessary to build that case. We recommend the tools we believe will be most effective in supporting our client's best interests then our clients approve the recommendations that fit best with their perspective and needs.

Establishing realistic goals and budgets is an ongoing process; substantial effort goes in to defining the initial goals and budget and then continuous reviews are needed as new facts are identified. What does the client want? What is the likelihood we can deliver that result? What other outcomes are likely? How long will it take to resolve the dispute? What will it cost in both hard and soft dollars? All of these questions must be answered.

Reporting

Regular communications are imperative to successful results and client satisfaction. We will provide detailed information on the status of the matter we are working on - we expect the client to review the information and ask us questions about anything they do not understand or want to know more about. Communication is a two way street and success is the result of partnering between the client and the attorney.

Client Resources

Since most commercial litigation is closely related to the industry of our clients, we have found the greatest success by working with members of the client's staff to plan and execute the litigation strategy. This approach ensures the most informed strategies are developed (because the client's staff knows the intricacies of the business and ramifications of the facts in dispute) and allows the client to better control costs through use of their own personnel. In addition, the client's continuing involvement results in their better understanding the case, including impediments to resolution and the progress being made.

Fees - Contingent - Hourly - Blended

Businesses and individuals today rely on the flexibility of their vendors regarding deliverables, timing and payment schedules. Our clients are no exception and that is why we have multiple fee arrangements.

In many cases, resolutions of commercial disputes are billed on a simple hourly basis. In some instances, the circumstances warrant a contingency arrangement in which the client and attorney share the risk. Most situations need to be reviewed and discussed before an appropriate fee arrangement can be determined.

Our rates are comparable with most firms our size and are substantially lower than many larger firms. Contact a dispute resolution attorney  today to discuss how we can help with your commercial dispute.
