Regardless of whether legal disputes involve large corporations, small businesses, or individuals, successful outcomes depend on the ability to shape the case from the outset. Consequently, Beck Redden’s Commercial Litigation practice aggressively pursues the facts and operative documents from the very beginning of the engagement. This allows the firm to home in on the legal theories and jury themes needed to win, and to develop the case with those theories and themes in mind. The lawyers at Beck Redden have successfully tried virtually every kind of commercial dispute there is. And they have done so before juries, judges, and arbitrators across the nation. Our clients have the satisfaction of going into court knowing that their case is backed by a trial team with a proven track record of success on both sides of the docket. Many firms only really begin preparing their case for a jury once they realize trial is imminent. We do not. At Beck Redden, we prepare each case for the ultimate test, the scrutiny of the factfinders and judges that will decide our clients’ fate. Putting in this effort helps ensure that our clients are in the strongest possible position throughout the lifecycle of their matter, including, if needed, the ability to prevail on appeal.
Our Commercial Litigation practice frequently assists clients with matters relating to:
- Breach of Contract
- Business Torts
- Class Actions & MDLs
- Antitrust
- Securities Fraud & Shareholder Litigation
- Real Estate
