The business litigation and dispute resolution group at Fox, Hefter, Swibel, Levin & Carroll, LLP represents clients in trial and appellate courts, arbitrations and mediations, as well as in negotiations to attempt to resolve disputes without involvement of a court, arbitrator or mediator. Our approach to dispute resolution is creative, aggressive, and, above all, focused on achieving the best possible result for the client taking into account both the outcome achieved and the cost incurred to arrive at that outcome. Our litigation partners have substantial trial experience and have achieved excellent results for clients at trial. But trials are expensive, and we view them as only one tool in the dispute resolution tool kit to be used only when an acceptable resolution is unattainable by other means. Our dispute resolution clients include publicly-held companies, privately-held companies and individuals. Our experience includes cases involving contracts, fraud, trade secrets, restrictive covenants, unfair competition, real estate, financial institutions, employment, intellectual property, professional negligence, fraudulent transfers, shareholder and partnership disputes, trusts, insurance coverage, defamation, and many other areas of the law. We pride ourselves not only on being excellent lawyers, but also on having a firm, practical understanding of business, and we view our task as adding to our client’s bottom line.
