Business Litigation: Delivering success for our clients Regardless of the outcome, each day in commercial litigation costs your business valuable time and money, not to mention stress. You don't just want to endure litigation and hope for the best. You want an advantageous solution and return to business as usual in the shortest time possible. At the law offices of Parravano Witten PC, our business litigation philosophy is simple: strike smart, fast and always maintain the offensive advantage. When you maintain the offensive advantage, you are forcing the opposition to expose its strengths and weaknesses earlier rather than later – information critical to your ever evolving strategic analysis and curtailing the duration of litigation. Because we are not a litigation “mill”, we don’t have the inclination, time or manpower to “churn” cases simply to increase fees. After all, our success hinges on keeping you as a satisfied business client long after litigation has ended. To that end, we provide bi-monthly statements on litigation matters so you can monitor expenses closely and regularly confer with you to re-evaluate liabilities, advantages and options towards litigation resolution. True, most commercial litigation is settled before trial, but an advantageous settlement is best achieved through deep initial case analysis and aggressive pursuit early on of an opponent’s positions and evidence. We have represented commercial plaintiffs and defendants in a wide range of commercial litigation, such as:
Breach of contract Our experience is that parties that seek to avoid litigation by exploring settlement opportunities early, including voluntary submission to alternative dispute resolution processes, informs the Court early on which party is the more reasonable and creates a lasting perception that often works to that party's favor when dealing with an uncoordinated or obnoxious adversary. Again, our litigation philosophy is singular: get you out of the courtroom with an advantageous result and back to running your business in as short a time as possible. Schedule a consultation and see how our firm can help you efficiently and effectively resolve your business disputes.
