LITIGATION
Commercial Litigation ? Construction Litigation ? Real Estate Litigation
Commercial and Business Dispute Litigation
No matter how carefully you try to avoid civil litigation, disputes can still arise and potentially develop into lawsuits. That is why commercial and business litigation accounts for a substantial part of the law practice for many Lang Baker & Klain attorneys.
Bill Klain and our other Arizona commercial litigators bring a forceful, problem-solving attitude to our clients? business disputes, and our lawyers' goals are the same in every litigation case: to advocate your position, resolve the controversy and disputed issues, and achieve the best possible outcome ? at the least amount of disruption and cost to you.
Our law firm has assembled a highly skilled team of commercial lawyers with substantial, wide-ranging litigation and arbitration experience in business and corporate law. Our business and civil litigation includes:
the prosecution and defense of corporate disputes among shareholders, limited liability company (LLC) members, partners, officers and/or directors;
failed commercial transactions;
intentional wrongdoing in business settings;
non-competition agreements;
trade secrets;
unfair competition;
deficiency actions in foreclosure lawsuits;
receiverships;
injunctions; and
an array of business torts involving individuals, corporations, LLCs and partnerships.
Our lawyers are also available to assist out-of-state attorneys by serving as local counsel on matters pending in Arizona.
Construction Litigation
Whether you're an owner, a general contractor, subcontractor or construction supplier, avoiding and successfully litigating construction-related legal issues are crucial to your company's survival and to devoting your energy and attention to running a profitable business. Litigation involving an Arizona construction project can be as complex as the project itself, and hiring the right construction attorney is crucial. Protecting your position and grasping the details in a construction dispute require the knowledge, experience and dedication offered by Kent Lang and Lang Baker & Klain's other construction lawyers.
