Commercial Litigation

We represent clients in a wide range of complex commercial disputes arising from business matters. We prosecute and defend claims for breach of contract, business defamation, civil RICO, antitrust violations, use of confidential information and trade secrets.

For example, we have obtained an emergency order in federal court for a leading automotive dealership restraining a vehicle manufacturer from wrongfully terminating the dealership's franchise. We have successfully defended a wireless telecommunications company with assets in excess of $1 billion in a lawsuit filed by a competitor alleging wrongful use of trade secrets and proprietary information. We have won summary judgment and affirmance on appeal before the Third Circuit for a manufacturer of electronic voting equipment on a distributor's breach of contract claim in excess of $2 million. We defended an options trader in an antitrust class action lawsuit against the NYSE, AMSE, Philadelphia Stock Exchange and market maker/specialists challenging the listing of options on a single exchange. We have defended a variety of Civil RICO claims, including claims against an insurance agency, an arms manufacturer and a voting machine manufacturer.
