Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about commercial litigation

How much does business litigation cost?

We offer various fee structures including hourly billing, fixed fees for certain matters, and funding arrangements. We provide detailed budgets and regular updates so you can make informed decisions.
Should I sue or try to settle?
This depends on many factors including strength of your case, potential recovery, litigation costs, and business considerations. We provide an honest assessment of your options and work with you to develop a strategy that aligns with your business objectives, whether that involves aggressive litigation or strategic settlement negotiations.
