Our firm’s litigation practice includes both trial and appellate work in the following areas: commercial disputes and business torts, insurance defense, insurance coverage, environmental, fidelity and surety, pharmaceutical, product liability and toxic tort, malpractice, errors and omissions, construction, private and public contract disputes, workers’ compensation, labor and employment, trade regulation, antitrust, intellectual property, franchise, real estate, banking, pension, probate, and white-collar criminal defense. While we are pleased to be recognized nationally for our efforts in complex litigation, we are equipped to handle smaller litigated matters with equal efficiency and zeal – and our collective experience has consistently allowed us to develop winning case strategies both in and out of the courtroom.
One of the most varied areas of the firm’s litigation practice involves insurance defense and coverage, which includes matters spanning the complete range of insurance interests, from industrial accidents and premises liability to insurance coverage disputes and bad faith claims. Our insurance defense practice also involves extensive experience with suits alleging wrongful discharge, sexual harassment, and other claims in the emerging area of business torts. In the area of environmental insurance coverage litigation, the firm has acted as national coordinating counsel for a major insurance company and as regional counsel for numerous others.
Our lawyers also regularly handle a wide range of sophisticated commercial litigation in areas that include contract disputes, construction claims, employment disputes, probate matters, and commercial torts such as fraud, tortious interference, and civil RICO violations. In the area of white-collar criminal defense, the firm represents individuals and corporations in federal and state grand jury investigations and also conducts internal investigations into possible violations of criminal law.
We represent a varied group of businesses ranging from major manufacturers to smaller self-insured companies in matters involving products liability. Our clients manufacture or distribute such diverse products as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, motor vehicles, industrial machinery, construction equipment, alarm and signaling systems, and household products. The firm also handles toxic tort suits related to exposure from chemicals, asbestos, silica, aluminum, hazardous waste, underground storage tanks, and air and water pollution.
In the area of professional liability, our lawyers represent medical-care providers, accountants, attorneys, engineers, architects, securities brokers, and insurance agents in defense of actions alleging negligence and malpractice.
