Business-related disputes are the core of our firm. We successfully help clients of all sizes and industries navigate complex legal disputes both in and out of the courtroom. From our offices in Austin, Texas, we litigate in state and federal courts throughout Texas and around the country. Our track record runs the gamut from contract disputes to billion-dollar bet-the-company litigation. We pride ourselves on becoming trusted resources as clients grow and encounter legal disputes with partners, employees, counterparties, contractors, vendors, customers, and others.
We also know that business disputes are about more than just litigation tactics. We understand the business considerations of our clients and the human qualities that play out in these conflicts. Our business litigation attorneys carefully consider the operational implications for our clients in gathering information, pursuing litigation, and ultimately preparing for trial. Because we take a broad and strategic perspective, clients view us as trusted advisors who handle and win sophisticated business litigation while staying true to the larger mission of the business. In many instances, our early involvement can prevent or mitigate legal disputes, and we always seek cost-effective strategies for vindicating our clients’ interests. At our core, however, we are determined and relentless advocates for our clients – always ready to take the fight to court when needed, no matter how big the stakes.
