Areas of Practice


Business Disputes and Civil Litigation

 

We have extensive experience helping businesses, executives, and other stakeholders to address numerous types of business disputes, from early negotiations through trial.  We have tried cases in numerous jurisdictions, and have even jumped into cases on the eve of trial.     

Our practice has included business torts, commercial disputes, (re)insurance coverage arbitrations and lawsuits, bankruptcy, construction and real estate, and agricultural matters—sometimes in combination. Our practice is not limited to these areas. Let’s talk about your matter or issue.

Business Advice

 

We help business owners, executives, and other stakeholders navigate complex issues, including through advice regarding fiduciary duties, corporate and data governance, and compliance, as well as the other specific areas described here.

Data Law: Privacy, Cyber-security, E-Discovery

 

From HIPAA to the GDPR and beyond, we help businesses navigate complex and ever-changing state, federal, and international data privacy requirements. We offer, among other services, policy drafting and input, incident response, compliance and planning, due diligence for corporate transactions, and e-discovery coordination for complex cases.

Insurance and Reinsurance

 

We have a deep well of experience in the (re)insurance industry, from program and policy inception through the resolution of claims. We tap our regulatory knowledge and insight for (re)insurance clients responding to new technologies, market developments, and laws. When disputes reach an impasse, we have litigated and arbitrated claims in multiple jurisdictions and industries, from professional liability claims involving a single field of corn or spinach to multi-district litigation involving massive exposures arising from tax shelters.

Bankruptcy

 

We help stakeholders evaluate practical and strategic issues related to bankruptcy proceedings and other aspects of the reorganization process, including the automatic stay, insurance coverage issues, asset sales and purchases, bankruptcy plans, and bankruptcy alternatives.

Agribusiness and Renewable Energy

 

We advise clients regarding business issues and disputes involving farm and ranch land, including conveyances of farmland, issues relating to renewable energy projects, and agricultural insolvency (including creditors’ rights).
