Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Overview
The Litigation & Dispute Resolution Group at PilieroMazza is known for delivering top-tier, proactive representation. Whether defending our clients or asserting claims on their behalf—in court, before government and administrative agencies, during a government investigation, at the negotiation table, or through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) tribunals—our attorneys are aggressive and efficient advocates who are dedicated to achieving the best results possible and experienced in virtually every aspect of commercial litigation.
We take pride in our ability to help clients understand both the pros and cons of every approach related to disputes they face in the course of doing business. We carefully analyze the facts of each case, understand how the outcome will impact their goals and operations, and consider recent rulings and trends. Our clients respect our candid, frank counsel at the onset of each matter and throughout the representation and appreciate our sensitivity to their budgets by matching the right team of experienced lawyers to the matter at hand.
The diversity of our clientele, ranging from the smallest of small businesses to large publicly traded corporations, allows us to look at every dispute from a holistic perspective and create a tailored, practical, and innovative strategy based on experience. Our trial lawyers have earned the respect of clients, judges, juries, opposing parties, and the government because we develop compelling arguments and presentations that go far beyond simply academic or theoretical approaches. These same tenets guide us outside the courtroom as well, helping us strive to get the best outcomes via complex negotiation, mediation or arbitration, or challenging agency proceedings, including investigations by the Department of Justice and Offices of Inspectors General.
PilieroMazza’s litigation team brings a wealth of diverse experience in venues across the nation, going wherever our government contractor and commercial business clients go, whenever they need us. We maintain long-lasting relationships with our clients by constantly monitoring court dockets for cases in which they are named as defendants; collaborating with our colleagues from our Business & Transactions, Labor & Employment, and Government Contracts practice groups to identify and address cross-functional issues; providing proactive advice on how to comply with changing legislation and regulations as well as government investigations; and helping mitigate the risk of potential litigation and disputes with business partners, customers, and employees.
No matter the venue, we are aggressive and efficient advocates for our clients, in order to achieve the best results possible.
