Our firm advises individuals and businesses on legal matters affecting their financial interests. Our advice ranges from advising on and documenting banking and business transactions to representing clients in litigation in state and federal courts, including trials and appeals. Our experience enables us to advise you in a timely, efficient manner.
Business Advice
We counsel businesses on ownership, employment, contracting, and transition matters, and we work with real estate investors who are buying, selling, leasing, and financing commercial and investment real estate. We represent national and regional commercial banks in a variety of lending and complex financial structuring matters, including bankruptcy, loan workouts and judicial and non-judicial commercial foreclosure proceedings.
Litigation
We represent individuals and businesses in complex litigation with an emphasis on legal malpractice, business and commercial litigation, lender liability, insurance coverage and trust and estate matters.
Our size allows us to do things differently from our larger competitors. Our size means that you talk with the lawyers who are working for you, instead of with a department head who isn't actually working on your matter. Your communications with us are more efficient and effective. For our part, we strive to write to you in plain terms so that our advice is clear and useful to you.
