Areas of Practice


Contracts

 

Our firm has handled disputes involving an array of contracts, including sales and general commercial agreements (including oral agreements), partnership and joint venture agreements, franchising agreements, employment agreements, AIA construction agreements, restrictive covenants, confidentiality agreements, technology development agreements, licensing agreements, commercial leases, insurance agreements, and broker dealer agreements.


Business Divorce

 

We are well versed in the issues that arise when a business dissolves or when business owners part ways, including the fiduciary obligations and contractual rights of the owners, claims for an accounting, and obligations to creditors.


Business Torts

 

Our experience includes breaches of fiduciary duties, fraud and misrepresentation, wrongful interference with contractual relations, unjust enrichment, and unfair competition.


Intellectual Property

 

We have considerable experience with each of the four IP disciplines: trade secrets, trademarks and trade dress, copyrights, and patents — and related doctrines such as restrictive covenants, false advertising, and unfair competition.


Real Estate

 

Our representation includes landlords, tenants, developers, investors and lenders in connection with an array of commercial real estate disputes, e.g., rights of first refusal, subterranean rights and obligations, broker disputes, breaches of commercial leases, force majeure, and the right to “Yellowstone” injunctive relief pending a cure.


Veil Piercing

 

We have been successful in piercing the corporate veil of companies whose corporate actors engaged in deceitful and inequitable conduct.
