When dispute resolution fails and the circumstances call for litigation, The CommLaw Group’s talented litigation attorneys aggressively assert and defend our clients’ legal rights and interests before state and federal courts, regulatory agencies, and other venues. Litigation has become an integral, and at times unavoidable, aspect of the business world. Recognizing that litigation is never an end in itself, our litigators believe that litigation should be used only as a tool of last resort. In line with this philosophy, our attorneys’ first line of attack is to work closely with clients, and attorneys in the other practice groups, to counsel on amicable resolutions and avoidance of litigation. Should litigation become necessary, our attorneys offer extensive litigation expertise in the most cost-effective manner possible.
The CommLaw Group’s Dispute Resolution and Litigation Practice Group has established a reputation for excellence through its aggressive, efficient and successful representation of clients in a wide range of substantive legal areas.

Our Philosophy on Litigation: Serve in the Best Interests of our Clients Strategically, Emotionally and Financially
When business negotiations fail and litigation becomes a possibility, management often becomes fearful of taking the next step and retaining litigation counsel. There are fears about the unknown risks and unintended consequences of litigation, but frequently the primary fear is cost. That is why the attorneys at The CommLaw Group approach litigation with all of our clients’ best interests (and fears) in mind.
- As simple as it seems, many lawyers ignore the most important first step in any pre-litigation strategy—figuring out where the client wants to go and how to get there. Defining goals and objectives drive our firm’s litigation strategy. That is why we:
Meet to identify and understand client goals—business as well as legal—and develop a plan to align our services to those goals - Perform early case assessment to develop a litigation plan, evaluate the possibility of early settlement and assess costs for different litigation strategies
- Enable strategic success via efficiency, predictability and client satisfaction
