Business Disputes

Practicing as trial attorneys since 1974, the law firm of Hillyard, Wahlberg, Kudla & Sloane, LLP vigorously pursues and defends litigation involving contentious business disputes. This litigation includes disputes between businesses, between an individual or group and a business, and disputes between parties within a business.

In analyzing and preparing these cases, we consider the goals of our clients, and the potential impact that the failure or success of a lawsuit would have on their commercial interests. We prefer to prepare each case as if we will proceed to trial, because we have found that this puts our client in the strongest position to obtain a positive outcome — whether at trial or in a settlement negotiation.

Our firm represents clients in all types of business litigation matters, including:

• Breach of contract disputes
• Partner and shareholder disputes
• Partnership and LLC dissolutions
• Corporate governance disputes
• Business torts
• Environmental contamination
• Construction litigation
• Real estate litigation
• And others

In particular, we pay close attention to the costs of continued litigation, versus the potential benefit to be obtained from that litigation. Whether the matter concerns a breach of contract dispute or other commercial matter, we also look for ways to resolve the dispute using alternative means, such as a negotiated settlement, mediation, or arbitration. During this process, our lawyers stay in close touch with the client to keep them informed of developments and opportunities to resolve the business dispute short of a full-blown trial.

When it is necessary in order to protect our client's rights and interests, and when the client deems the issue to be of high importance, we energetically undertake breach of contract and other commercial litigation.
