Trial Practice

Our litigators are trial lawyers.

We have handled cases in state and federal court from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon, before administrative federal and state administrative agencies nationwide, and in domestic and international arbitrations in the U.S. and Europe. In over a dozen, millions of dollars were at stake. In one, a jury returned a defense verdict for our clients in five minutes following a six-day trial.

Whether it is a “bet-the-company” case or run-of-the-mill dispute, we handle lawsuits efficiently and cost-effectively. We file motions and conduct discovery strategically, not automatically, with an eye towards resolving the case favorably for our clients. We never forget a settlement may be the most favorable resolution.

We have litigated the gamut of business disputes: business and commercial disputes, contractual disputes, corporate break-ups, shareholder and governance issues, construction claims, insurance coverage, and real estate clashes. We have gone to court in numerous employment matters, including discrimination, retaliation, whistleblower, wage and overtime, FMLA, and WARN Act matters. We have litigated consumer disputes, including privacy, consumer protection, false claims, and TCPA cases. We also have a national intellectual property litigation practice representing some of the largest retailers in the country.
