With over thirty years managing commercial and family disputes, we are well positioned to give practical and sophisticated advice in managing claims against insolvent debtors and trustees in bankruptcy on a range of commercial and personal bankruptcy issues.
Some of our most noteworthy cases involve commencing and responding to appeals of trustees’ decisions, removal and appointment of trustees and advising on a host of priority matters.
We also have a wide range of experience in identifying claims that may survive bankruptcy and can be successfully commenced and in dealing with non-compliant debtors.
However, what is often most important is advice. Planning ahead and developing strategies for trustees, creditors and debtors transcends understanding the technical intricacies of bankruptcy law. It requires experience and strategic thinking, which are critical to obtaining controlled and optimal results for our clients.
We handle some of the most complex family disputes without getting mired in the all too common pathology associated with inter-familial disputes. We focus on finding creative solutions that enable us to minimize such provocations and ensure that we maximize the recovery of our client’s interests. These disputes include claims by common law and married spouses, equalization of property, sharing of family assets such as joint homes, businesses and real estate, child and spousal support.
Whether for public companies or private corporations, the rights and remedies of minority and dissenting shareholders are ever expanding.
Our litigators know precisely how best to advance those shareholder interests against the corporations in which they invest, the boards that manage the corporations, other shareholders, and the brokers who had them acquire shares. And they know how to do so before the courts or in private arbitration to ensure that shareholders are treated fairly and justly.
But we also understand very well the limits of such shareholder rights. Corporations and boards of directors have, as a matter of course, frequently turned to us to enforce those limits.

Disturbed by the inefficiencies, delays and the procedural quagmire of court processes, and determined to find real time solutions to their business disputes, business people are increasingly inserting arbitration provisions into their business contracts requiring the parties to those agreements to resolve their disputes by arbitration rather than before the courts.
Our Litigation Group, with its advocates who are themselves qualified as arbitrators, and who have extensive experience as counsel before single and three person arbitration panels, both domestically and internationally, keenly understands that arbitration can be so much more than merely the conduct of a court-like trial before arbitrators.
Our successful arbitration practice helps parties to fashion procedural rules that allow disputes to be heard quickly and efficiently, before the best and most qualified arbitrators, and, where appropriate, to obtain awards that are enforceable internationally.
In this ever changing business environment, complex written contracts have come to define parties’ rights and obligations to one another, both domestically and internationally.
When disputes arise, our clients have great confidence that our Litigation Group will determine which words matter, not simply in the lines but between the lines, so that we can get to the heart of the dispute, to its essential dynamics and the real issues between the parties. Our firm handles contractual disputes across a broad range of industries in almost every commercial context, including:
