We serve as lead counsel on high-stakes commercial and business disputes, lawsuits, and arbitrations for companies of all sizes.
Advocacy in commercial dealings. In complex business ventures with many stakeholders and competing interests, conflict is inevitable. Having an experienced legal team in place positions your business to favorably resolve conflicts before they escalate, and to determine the best approach to a dispute that must be resolved in arbitration or in court.
Significant trial experience. Ziegler Gardner’s lawyers are trial attorneys. While most clients’ business objectives are best served by minimizing the disruption and costs that come with prolonged litigation, sometimes going to trial is inevitable. When that happens, our team draws on decades of experience and a winning track record to marshal a strategic and effective defense. We meticulously prepare every case as if it will go to trial, and we are ready to defend our clients’ position at any time.
Broad transactional experience. We have experience across a range of commercial disputes in real estate and construction, such as breach of contract and breach fiduciary duty claims in commercial lending (conventional/private equity/EB-5 loans). We also have a long history of representing clients in transactions involving mergers and acquisitions, real estate development, contract drafting and negotiation, corporate structure, and business entity formation and organization — and in the disputes that result from these commercial dealings.
