Commercial disputes are inevitable, and when they happen companies in a diverse array of business sectors – from health care to retailing, and aviation to construction – rely on Leib & Katt to defend their vital interests. We understand how their business works, the issues at stake when problems arise, and the best strategy for resolution. With an effective appellate practice, we are frequently able to preserve decisions in favor or reverse decisions against our clients on appeal.

Our objective in any commercial dispute is to resolve it in the way that works best for our client. We work quickly to assess the merits of opposing claims, balance the strength of the allegations against the potential damages and advise clients whether settlement, dispute resolution or litigation is the best course. If trial is the best option, we use the skills developed in bringing several hundred jury trials to verdict to quickly identify the issues and develop an understanding of how the ultimate legal decision-maker, whether judge or jury, will react to the issues.

Many commercial disputes settle short of trial, but the willingness of our lawyers to appear in court gives us a distinct advantage against “litigators” who have never actually tried a case. This experience enables us to better evaluate the odds of success at trial, and often to develop a workable strategy to resolve the case. Trial experience is what gives us the ability to advise clients on whether to avoid, commence, settle, try or mediate a dispute.

Leib & Katt litigators handle cases as diverse as medical and environmental matters, advertising injury claims and simple business contractual disputes. We understand the financial and practical costs of litigation, and develop cost-effective solutions to resolve a dispute. For smaller matters, we provide personal attention and an ability to match specific attorney skills with our client’s defense needs. In larger disputes requiring greater resources, we have the professional experience, support staff and legal resources necessary for effective settlement or trial. No matter what the financial stakes, our litigators are committed to finding the best and most effective solutions to defend the interests of our clients.
