Contract Litigation & Arbitration

Resolution of disputes arising from, or related to, contacts is one of the cornerstones of commercial litigation and arbitration. We have resolved hundreds of such disputes on a broad range of topics in a variety of contexts, including the purchase and sale of real estate, businesses and various goods and services; licenses, insurance products, homeowners’ associations, partnerships, joint ventures and other profit-sharing arrangements and rental and lease arrangements.  As a result, we bring a wealth of expertise to bear our clients’ needs—from counseling to the courtroom.

Reported cases include:
