Business Litigation

Resolution of many business disputes require attorneys, the court system, or alternative methods such as mediation or arbitration.  I represent companies and businessmen in cases in which one of the parties claims that a contract was breached, or there was a failure to perform.  My clients include executives who were enticed to leave lucrative positions to go to work for another company only to find that material facts had been misrepresented by the new employer.  My clients include people who invested substantial money in a new or ongoing business who later discover that material facts had been misrepresented to them. 

  It is impossible to list the different ways in which a business dispute can arise.  Sometimes immediate action is essential if the client is going to survive.  An employee can quit and take confidential information and go to work for a competitor or start his or her own business and start calling on his former employer's customers.  In those cases an injunction to prevent unfair competition is crucial.  Other examples of "immediate action" include applications for writs of attachment (to attach a defendant's assets prior to judgment), applications for writs of possession (to recover personal property in the defendant's possession prior to judgment), and applications to have a receiver  appointed (to prevent dissipation of property or to collect rents pending a foreclosure).
