Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Our litigation practice encompasses a broad range of commercial matters involving intellectual property infringement (include patent, trademark and copyright), trade secrets, employment, contractual and other business related disputes. Our litigation attorneys are qualified and experienced to practice before both the U.S. federal court and state courts. We coordinate our litigation efforts with our international associates to handle complex litigation in multi-national jurisdictions to bring about the best and most comprehensive results for our clients. Using our extensive and highly organized document control systems, we deliver cost-effective and time-saving solutions to serve our clients' litigation needs.

When litigation is not in the clients' best interest, our attorneys are equally skilled in alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration, mediation, neutral evaluation, negotiation and early settlement.
