We have helped to secure more than $80 billion in jury verdicts and settlements since 1955.
Companies often face complex legal disputes with other businesses, government entities, and groups of individuals, which require a detailed understanding of both the law and the business operation of the company. Our commercial litigation practice specializes in handling these complex disputes.
Since 1955, we have earned a reputation as one of the most successful plaintiffs’ law firms in the nation, winning more than $30 billion in jury verdicts and settlements.
Our accomplishments have been featured on numerous national news programs and magazines such as CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes magazine, Time magazine, National Law Journal, and US magazine.

Many business contracts contain what is known as an “arbitration provision.” The arbitration process is generally faster and less expensive than litigation in the case of a dispute. In most cases, parties to a contract must decide upon arbitration at the time the contract is made.
While some arbitration forums allow for court-type procedures and rules of evidence, many do not. Without common discovery (the process by which both sides are afforded the opportunity to examine all evidence pertaining to the case), parties to arbitration may not have access to all the facts that could help in resolving the dispute. Furthermore, arbitrators selected from pools such as the American Arbitration Association (AAA) tend to consist primarily of hourly defense lawyers.
It’s important to have as much information about the arbitrators’ pool as possible when making the decision between arbitration and litigation.
