Breach of Contract

Businesses are frequently involved in contract disputes over payment, performance of services, intellectual property, and employment obligations. These disputes can escalate quickly and threaten vital business relationships. Our attorneys help clients enforce contracts, defend against breach allegations, and negotiate practical resolutions that protect both their rights and business objectives. Whether you’re pursuing damages or defending against claims, experienced counsel can help you navigate these disputes effectively.


Breach of Fiduciary Duty

Disputes between business partners, LLC members, and corporate directors often involve allegations of disloyalty, self-dealing, or failure to act in the company’s best interests.
We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in fiduciary-duty litigation, helping clients understand their rights and obligations under New Jersey law. Our attorneys assess the risk-benefit of litigation, pursue equitable remedies when appropriate, and protect clients’ financial and ownership interests in closely held businesses.


Business Dissolution

When relationships between business owners break down, dissolution may be an available legal remedy. Our attorneys evaluate whether dissolution—or an alternative form of relief—is appropriate, and guide clients through the process, from filing to liquidation or buyout.
We also defend against dissolution actions that may threaten an ongoing enterprise, helping clients preserve business continuity and value.


Partnership and Member Disputes

Conflicts between partners or LLC members in small and midsize businesses can jeopardize operations, goodwill, and profitability. We provide clear, practical advice to help clients determine whether to pursue litigation, mediation, or arbitration to resolve internal disputes efficiently. Our firm focuses on protecting ownership rights while minimizing disruption to business operations.


Strategic and Cost-Effective Representation

Our approach emphasizes early evaluation and strategic planning. We work closely with clients to identify business objectives, assess risk, and determine the most efficient path forward—whether through negotiation, alternative dispute resolution, or trial.

We are equally adept at prosecuting claims on behalf of plaintiffs and defending businesses against allegations brought by competitors, vendors, or partners.
