Risk Exists Everywhere

As a business owner, risk can be found virtually everywhere. Statistically, anywhere between 35% -53% of small businesses are engaged in at least one case over the course of a year. At any time, 90% of all businesses are engaged in litigation.*

Litigation is expensive, and can deeply harm the longevity of your business. For any given case, regardless of the outcome, attorney’s fees start at tens of thousands, if not hundreds.

That’s why it is so important for your contracts to cover all of these areas and eventualities. Avoiding litigation is a main tenet of our firm’s beliefs. By hiring our experienced employment attorneys, you can spend more time worrying about growing your business, and less worrying about legal issues.

Who This is For.

New Business Owners

New business owners are at a huge risk of disputes and litigation, whether from a business ownership dispute, or a gap or oversight in one of their contracts. With limited resources, you have to feel confident in your legal representation that they can get you the best results as quickly as possible.

Existing Business Owners

If you’ve been operating for awhile, you know legal issues can come out of nowhere, and often when you’re the least prepared. Retaining an experienced commercial litigation attorney can make all the difference when it comes to final numbers with fees and settlements, or judgments.
