When a business dispute between commercial enterprises turns into a complex legal controversy, our litigators step in to protect our clients' rights and interests and minimize their business risks.


Comprising the firm's largest litigation group, our commercial litigators represent clients in disputes involving:

  • Breach of contract and UCC-related matters
  • Unfair competition, contract interference, and other business torts
  • Breach of fiduciary duty
  • Fraud
  • Corporate governance

Our litigators are fully experienced in taking the largest and most complex cases to trial, as plaintiff or defense counsel. Members of the group are located in every one of our 12 offices, and we try cases in state and federal courts throughout the country. Many cases are resolved long before a full trial, however, because our commercial litigators have significant skill and success with arbitration, mediation, and other alternative dispute resolution methods.

Our clients include Fortune 100 companies, major manufacturers, franchisors, and other leading businesses across the country in such industries as energy, financial services, pharmaceutical, real estate, telecommunications, and manufacturing. We also represent state and local governments and their entities.
