We represent clients in high-stakes business disputes—from contract disagreements and partnership conflicts to executive compensation issues and complex commercial litigation. Our client roster includes high-profile clients like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Applebee's, Planet Fitness, GunBroker.com, Easyship, Inc., and the occasional arms trafficker.

Relentless, reasonable, and results—are three pillars that exemplify our operating ethos. When clients turn to us to hit back, we hit back hard, ensuring nothing is left on the table.

We may even ask for the table.

At the pre-litigation stage, we are engaged to assess exposure, identify leverage, and position disputes for early, favorable resolution. For any engagement, this early investigative work is mission critical as it informs both the tenor of the present matter as well as the prospects of litigation, if necessary. Common objectives in presuit matters include:

  • Assess legal and commercial exposure

  • Identify leverage points and procedural advantages

  • Structure negotiations to force early resolution

  • Disrupt or influence planned transactions, mergers, or terminations

  • Preserve equity, compensation, or control interests before positions harden

This work frequently results in outsized outcomes on accelerated timelines, avoiding prolonged litigation while maximizing economic recovery or protection.

We prosecute and defend sophisticated actions involving breach of contract, business torts, equity and control disputes, fiduciary duty claims, and enforcement proceedings in state and federal courts. Our approach emphasizes procedural precision, pressure sequencing, and asymmetric risk control—recognizing that in commercial litigation, leverage is often created outside the courtroom. 

  • Breach of contract and anticipatory repudiation

  • Account stated and commercial collections

  • Business torts, including fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and tortious interference

  • Breach of fiduciary duty and loyalty claims

  • Equity, ownership, and control disputes

  • Shareholder, member, and partnership disputes

  • Executive compensation, severance, and clawback disputes

  • Enforcement of restrictive covenants and confidentiality obligations

  • Declaratory judgment actions regarding contractual rights and obligations

  • Injunctive and emergency relief proceedings

  • Judgment enforcement, asset restraint, and post-judgment recovery

  • Disputes arising from mergers, acquisitions, and strategic transactions

  • Commercial lease and complex landlord-tenant disputes

  • Disputes involving vendors, suppliers, and strategic counterparties

Corporate & Transactions

In the corporate and transactional space, we advise clients across the full lifecycle of their businesses, including the structuring and negotiation of new product launches, partnerships, and other strategic initiatives. We approach transactions with a litigation-informed lens, evaluating terms not only for immediate commercial value but also for downstream risk and enforceability.

Regulatory & Advisory

Certain industries are particularly susceptible to receiving government subpoenas due to their function in the supply chain. Financial institutions, telecommunications, shipping, and big tech online platforms, for example, are increasingly subpoenaed for information that may pass through related to customers.

For established companies, these requests may be routine. For newer market entrants, the fear and unfamiliarity with compliane can be crippling.  We counsel clients on regulatory exposure, compliance strategy, and responses to government inquiries, including subpoena review, response management, internal document assessments, and advising on compliance obligations across evolving regulatory frameworks. Our role is to minimize disruption while protecting the client’s legal position, ensuring accurate, timely responses and coordinated engagement with regulators.

Outside General Counsel

We provide ongoing general counsel support to businesses that need clear, practical legal guidance without the burden of a full in-house team advising on contracts, corporate governance, transactions, and regulatory compliance obligations.
