At the heart of most complex litigation are high stakes and multiple parties each with an interest in seeing a dispute go in a certain direction. Complexity can be a desirable feature in certain types of litigation because it allows one company to gain a strategic advantage over another, less-prepared company.
The Firm has handled a selection of complex commercial matters. One type of matter, Antitrust Issues, generally involve businesses that have cornered some aspect of a market and prevented other competitors from entering that market, effectively creating monopolies. Antitrust charges may also be brought against companies that have conspired to fix prices for particular goods and services. Another matter, Violations of Securities Laws, deals with companies that may engage in convoluted or deceitful financial practices in order to gain a competitive advantage or mislead investors. They may also fail to provide proper reporting to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Further, Intellectual Property Abuses involve a company that may infringe upon the copyrights, trademarks, or patents of another. Sometimes, businesses may engage in corporate espionage to acquire trade secrets illegally. Interference with Existing Contracts cases arise when a third party may attempt to prevent the two parties to a contract from fulfilling their obligations in order to gain from their failure. Lastly, Competition agreements evaluate employment contracts, which may have specific non-competition or non-disclosure clauses. Violations of these clauses can lead to complex litigation, especially if information has been appropriated and used in another company’s business practices.
