Litigation

Best Best & Krieger’s relationship with clients is one in which we promote "proactive lawyering" such that litigation in regard to general operations is avoided. When litigation does arise, BB&K's Litigation Practice Group has a strong reputation and track record in the vigorous representation and defense of our clients in the courts.

BB&K has years of experience in prosecuting and defending business litigation disputes of almost every type, including contract and real estate matters, business torts, unfair competition, and director and shareholder disputes. The needs and objectives of the client are paramount in the handling of any litigation matter and are clearly ascertained at the outset of any new matter.

BB&K litigators understand that business litigation can be an expensive and time consuming process; therefore, alternative dispute resolution techniques (such as mediation and arbitration) are evaluated and utilized when practicable for the situation. When litigation is inevitable, however, BB&K can provide whatever level of resources are necessary, including litigation teams of both attorneys and paralegals, to respond to and deal with aggressive opposition tactics.

In addition to handling litigation matters through trial and any appeal, BB&K litigators are zealous in their handling of the pre-trial phase, including discovery and the filing of appropriate motions, to narrow issues and bring about the most efficient and favorable result for their clients. We treat our clients' problems as our own.
