Robinson Bradshaw lawyers prosecute and defend nearly every kind of business claim, appearing across the U.S. before juries and judges in state and federal courts, before arbitration panels, and before state and federal regulatory agencies. We handle significant disputes for our business clients in a broad range of industries and have developed widely recognized expertise in handling complex litigation in a variety of substantive practice areas. We also have substantial experience managing sensitive internal corporate investigations and assisting clients in responding to governmental investigations and inquiries.
Our lawyers handle business disputes of all sizes for our clients – from “bet-the-company” litigation to smaller disputes between businesses and individuals. Our goal is always to help clients conclude disputes advantageously and efficiently. First, we gain an understanding of our clients' needs, and then we examine matters from a broad perspective, seeking solutions from both a legal and practical standpoint. Some disputes can only be resolved with a trial, while others can be resolved through negotiation. Alternative dispute resolution and effective settlement strategies are key elements of our practice. We also counsel our clients to minimize the potential for lawsuits. Our attorneys have significant experience in class actions, antitrust, shareholder disputes and mass tort litigation, as well as internal investigations and governmental investigations/inquiries.
