We have considerable experience in defending corporations successfully in “bet the company” class actions involving claims of hundreds of millions of dollars.
We have represented diverse types of individuals and companies in a variety of industries involving many kinds of complex business litigation disputes or class action claims. These matters include prosecuting and defending software copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation, restrictive covenant disputes as well as distributor dealer or franchise termination claims. We represent shareholders and LLC members in squeeze out and freeze out claims, breach of fiduciary duty and shareholder oppression cases.
