Business Disputes
Business disputes drain time, resources, and management attention while threatening your company's stability and relationships. Whether you're in conflict with a partner, facing a customer disagreement, dealing with supplier issues, or handling shareholder disputes, you need experienced advocates who understand both the legal issues and the business impact. Our litigation team handles disputes across the Capital Region, from Albany to Schenectady to the surrounding communities.
We take a strategic approach to business disputes, evaluating whether litigation, negotiation, mediation, or arbitration best serves your interests. Before committing to expensive court battles, we assess the merits of your position, the likely costs and timeline, and realistic settlement prospects. We're skilled negotiators who understand that sometimes the best outcome is reached through creative problem-solving rather than winning at trial. When litigation is necessary, we aggressively advocate for your interests in court.

We handle discovery, motion practice, trial preparation, and appeals, and we work efficiently to contain costs while protecting your rights.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Business Disputes
Litigation costs vary based on the dispute's complexity, amount at stake, and how aggressively the other side fights. We provide detailed cost estimates and work with you to make strategic decisions about how much to invest at each stage.
Mediation is often worthwhile. It's typically faster and less expensive than litigation, and it gives both parties more control over the outcome. Many disputes settle through mediation, saving significant time and money.
Arbitration is a private dispute resolution process where an arbitrator hears evidence and makes a binding decision, without the formal court process. It's often faster and more confidential than litigation, but typically less appealable.
Discovery is the process where both sides exchange documents, answer written questions, and provide testimony. It can be extensive and expensive in complex disputes. We help you navigate discovery efficiently while protecting privileged information.
Yes. Cases can settle at any time, from the initial dispute through appeal. We continuously evaluate settlement opportunities and negotiate when terms that protect your interests are available.
