Civil and Business Litigation
Our firm’s focus is on smartly and effectively resolving commercial disputes. Commercial and business litigation often involves sophisticated and unique fact scenarios arising from complex professional and business relationships. Because of our experience, we are well-suited to meet the demands of such cases.
We aggressively defend our clients and vigorously prosecute their claims. We are always ready to proceed to a hearing before the Court or a trial. As a case proceeds, we also actively pursue opportunities to resolve business disputes with a business solution and we have been successful in negotiating positive business outcomes through negotiation.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
We are experienced trial lawyers. But at times, our clients are better served by alternative dispute resolution, including mediation, arbitration, and negotiated settlements. Jenny Lloyd is a member of the American Arbitration Association commercial arbitration panel and is a certified mediator. We have experience before various arbitral organizations, including the American Arbitration Association, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the International Court of Arbitration. We have mediated and settled disputes before litigation is filed up to the eve of trial. We think creatively about smart business resolutions for our clients with their competitors, partners, and customers, when it suits our client’s business objectives.

We represent parties in arbitration before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and in administrative and civil proceedings involving the Securities and Exchange Commission.
