Our legal practice, established in 1987, has evolved through decades of experience across multiple disciplines. Initially focused on insurance defense, we handled medical malpractice, torts, and insurance claims, including assistance in the Dupont Plaza fire litigation, a landmark federal case with over 2,000 claimants and 200 defendants. We continue to represent insurers in tort and employment-related claims and have obtained multi-million judgments.
In 1990, we expanded into labor and employment law, advising employers and HR professionals on wage and hour disputes, discrimination claims, disability matters, retaliation issues, and NLRB proceedings. Our work includes labor arbitration and collective bargaining negotiations.
For over 25 years, our corporate and commercial practice has supported small and mid-sized businesses in structuring, governance, and compliance. We assist with operating agreements, bylaws, resolutions, shareholder agreements, and asset/share sales documentation for both for-profit and non-profit organizations.
Our corporate practice also involves the meticulous creation of hundreds of commercial contracts and documents. These encompass a wide range of areas, including franchising, licensing, distributorship, supply agreements, purchase contracts, leasing agreements, joint ventures, confidentiality arrangements, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), non-compete clauses, trade secrets protection agreements, and contract drafting for various general commercial matters..
