Commercial Litigation

Attorneys can bog-down when it comes to developing settlement options with a business solution – this is where we excel. The real world business experience of our commercial litigators help us bring an in-depth yet practical perspective to the bargaining table. Whether you are faced with a deal gone awry or a vexing shareholder dispute, Foley Mansfield’s commercial attorneys know it is your business's livelihood at stake.

Our experienced trial attorneys can also address the myriad of business and legal issues – many of which are now typically embedded in electronic data and mountains of documentation – which arise when a commercial claim is brought against you or you must file suit to protect your business.

Many times a resolution may be reached informally or through economical dispute resolution means such as mediation or arbitration. However, when aggressive litigation is necessary, Foley Mansfield will work with you to implement a cost-effective and efficient trial strategy toward a positive outcome. We will analyze your situation from both an outcome and cost perspective so you continue to make sound business decisions as the dispute moves forward. Our attorneys will carefully manage each step of the case for you – from the initial pleadings, through discovery and depositions, settlement negotiations, and trial.
