Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Representing clients before state and federal courts, arbitral panels and administrative agencies on such matters as contract disputes, unfair trade practices, embargoes, misappropriation of proprietary information, employment relationships, and tort claims, as well as complex commercial litigation and tax issues. Based on the nature of our clientele, such matters often involve litigation under international conventions and treaties, including the Warsaw Convention (relating to international carriage by air) and the Vienna Conventions (on diplomatic and consular relations), as well as U.S. foreign sovereign immunities legislation.

Representative litigation and dispute resolution matters (see also ‘Attorneys‘):

* We represented foreign investors in their securities fraud claims against a start-up telecommunications company arising from a private placement.
* We administer a nationwide account collection program for a Gulf-based transportation company.
