Litigation & Dispute Resolution

The Litigation & Dispute Resolution practice group at Busch Slipakoff is comprised of experienced attorneys who provide creative, efficient and cost-effective advocacy for our clients. Our litigators are highly qualified to resolve client disputes at every point along the litigation spectrum, from initial negotiations, to preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders, to mediations, to summary judgment, and all the way through to trials, arbitrations, and appeals.

First, our attorneys have the subject-matter experience. Most of our litigators came to Busch Slipakoff from big firms, where they received excellent training in all facets of litigation. We represent both defendants and plaintiffs in state, federal and appellate courts in a variety of matters.We also recognize that often the best resolution for the client is to avoid litigation or quickly resolve it at the outset. Working with our corporate attorneys, several of whom served as general counsel at major corporations, our litigators make a concerted effort to negotiate and craft workable, beneficial settlements for our clients before the disputes escalate into costly litigation.

However, there are times when we cannot resolve disputes amicably, and when cases have to go all the way through to trial and appeal. It is in those instances in which our lawyers truly shine. Unlike many big-firm litigators, our attorneys have a wealth of trial and arbitration experience, and in all manner of disputes. Thus, retaining a Busch Slipakoff litigator means getting someone who has the expertise, work ethic, and fortitude to see the case through to the very end. Similarly, the Firm’s litigators have achieved great success in winning cases at the summary judgment stage, thereby avoiding the time and expense of trial.

The Firm’s financial model also means that our senior litigators do not merely oversee the work of less-experienced associates with little direct involvement, but they remain hands-on in handling cases. By keeping overhead and billing rates low, our partners can and do perform tasks that big-firm partners or even senior associates typically do not, such as drafting discovery requests and responses, reviewing documents, and preparing pleadings, motions, and briefs. In short, our senior litigators know the client’s case, inside and out.
