Litigation

The firm’s litigation expertise encompasses the entire range of commercial, construction, environmental, tort, transportation, and employment litigation. All of our attorneys are trial-tested and proficient in courtroom and alternative dispute resolution techniques. Our years of practice before state and federal courts and governmental agencies, combined with our real world business experience, provide us with an unparalleled ability to assess liabilities and to guide our clients through the dispute resolution process, whether they are plaintiffs or defendants. We have helped our clients to succeed in cases involving contracts, services, personal injury, property damage, negligence, professional malpractice, energy-related disputes, and collections. An important part of our practice includes the resolution of enforcement actions by regulatory agencies, multi-party claims seeking remediation or cost recovery under statutory schemes, and citizen suits, civil suits, and governmental actions for damages allegedly caused to property and other natural resources by contamination. Our work also includes actions involving alleged personal injuries or deaths from exposure to toxic substances released into the environment or sold into the stream of commerce, and claims arising out of indemnity and other contractual provisions allocating environmental responsibility. We are well versed in managing experts and consultants, and have a solid technical understanding of the issues raised in complex litigation and regulatory matters.
