- Business Divorces: Navigating the complexities of disputes among business partners, including dissolution actions, fiduciary duty claims, and disputes over valuation.
- Business Torts: Managing cases involving interference with contracts or business relations, misappropriation of trade secrets, and breaches of restrictive covenants.
- Insurance Coverage and Disputes: Handling insurance-related disputes, including declaratory judgment actions, coverage issues, commission disputes, and claims involving covenants not to compete.
