The firm’s attorneys frequently provide representation in general business litigation, including cases of lender liability, securities fraud, officer’s and director’s liability, employer/employee relations, contract claims, franchisee agreement litigation, trade dress/trademark infringement, business torts (business defamation/unfair competition) and public body liability. In the expanding area of employer/employee relations, the firm defends employers sued for wrongful discharge, discrimination, and unlawful substance screening.

Transactional Section clients have included retailers, manufacturers and suppliers, city governments, development commissions, small and large banks, a savings and loan association, Realtors and developers.

In one well-publicized securities fraud case, the firm successfully defended an underwriter’s counsel accused of misrepresentation. Claims against the client totaled $15 million and the trial ran more than three months. The claim of securities fraud was ultimately dismissed by the federal appellate court and affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court.
