Commercial Litigation

 

 

With decades of experience litigating cutting-edge complex commercial cases at one of the world’s leading law firms, we offer top-flight representation minus the overhead. We know what it takes to litigate our clients’ most difficult cases, and our small footprint means that when you hire us, you actually get us, at fair rates and with the ability to be flexible and creative in meeting client needs.

We defend individual plaintiff suits, class actions, and large multi-district litigations, and handle business disputes on both sides of the “v.”—from the pleadings through discovery, class certification, dispositive motions, mediation, trial, appeal, and settlement. Our experience cuts across many sectors—life sciences, health insurance, retail, pharmaceutical, energy, and telecommunications—and a range of subject matters, including consumer protection, data security and privacy, RICO, antitrust, contract law, torts, and constitutional and administrative law.

Our services span a diverse range of industries and issues, with relevant experience including:

  • We have a stellar track record of wins at the pleadings stage, including recent dismissals under Rule 12(b)(6) in a federal RICO case (where we also won sanctions), and for lack of personal jurisdiction in a high-profile product disparagement case.

  • Defending clients across many industries in disputes alleging breach of contract, fraud, unjust enrichment, product disparagement, Lanham Act, and other federal and state law claims.

  • Representing Fortune 500 retail, health insurance, and life sciences companies in multidistrict litigations arising out of major data breaches. Briefed and secured dismissal of a range of state statutory and common law claims, and coordinated over 100 party depositions.

  • Representing Fortune 500 life sciences and health insurance companies in high-profile multidistrict antitrust, RICO, and consumer protection litigation, from the pleadings stage through discovery, class certification, summary judgment, preparation for trial, and class settlement.

  • Defending numerous Telephone Consumer Protection Act cases. This includes, among other wins and favorable resolutions, winning summary judgment in a case alleging hundreds of millions of dollars of statutory damages, and defending that total victory on appeal.

  • Litigating cases under the Freedom of Information Act and analogous state laws related to state and federal agency failures to produce public records.

  • Challenging violations of the Administrative Procedure Act.

  • Preparing and responding to pre-suit demand letters in connection with potential litigation.
