Trusted Counsel for Complex Business Disputes
Whether the issue arises from a simple contract disagreement or a high-stakes conflict that threatens the future of the company, our attorneys provide the strategic insight, trial experience, and practical judgment needed to protect our clients’ interests. Our lawyers look beyond the legal wrangling to focus on the actual business needs of each client, and we approach every matter with the goal of achieving efficient, cost-effective resolutions, allowing our clients to focus on running their businesses.
Practical, Real World Representation
Business disputes come in many forms, and even seemingly minor issues can disrupt operations, relationships, and long-term plans. With decades of experience negotiating, mediating, arbitrating, and litigating complex commercial matters, Fink Bressack offers clients seasoned guidance at every stage of a dispute. We represent individuals, closely held companies, large corporations, governmental entities, employees, executives, and unions in many different contexts.
Fink Bressack’s experience extends to every type of litigated business conflict, including:
Contract Disputes:
From purchase agreements and service contracts to employment agreements and licensing arrangements, contract disagreements are among the most common and disruptive issues businesses face. We help clients enforce their contractual rights, defend against claims of breach, and secure remedies that minimize financial and operational impact.
Partnership and Shareholder Disputes:
Business partners and shareholders in closely-held businesses often encounter irreconcilable disagreements. Often, these conflicts are between family members or long-term partners and business associates. Resolving these matters can be particularly challenging. Disputes may involve allegations of shareholder oppression, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate mismanagement, or disagreements over the terms of partnership dissolution. Our attorneys have extensive experience navigating these sensitive matters, including the gnarly issues raised by business valuation disputes. Regardless of the intentions of the parties when a partnership is formed, Neal Sedaka said it best: “Breaking Up is Hard to Do.”
Business Fraud and Misrepresentation:
When fraudulent misrepresentations taint business transactions, swift legal action is often necessary. We regularly represent clients in litigation involving claims of fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation of assets, conversion and other misconduct, pursuing or defending against claims for damages or injunctive relief.
Antitrust and Unfair Competition:
There are many types of actionable unfair competition and civil antitrust violations, ranging from price fixing to illegal non-competes and agreements not to “poach” employees. Our team has handled antitrust litigation and related disputes, ranging from relatively straightforward disputes to some of the largest and most complex antitrust class action litigation in the country. Our experience allows us to help our clients fully understand their rights while we pursue or defend against these claims.
RICO and Complex Commercial Litigation:
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a unique and often aggressive tool used—sometimes inappropriately—in business litigation. Fink Bressack’s attorneys are experienced in prosecuting and defending civil RICO matters, as well as other forms of complex commercial litigation requiring detailed investigation and strong courtroom advocacy.
Labor and Employment-Related Business Disputes:
Conflicts between employers, employees, and unions can strain workplace relationships and expose businesses to significant liability. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in wrongful discharge claims, labor-management disputes, and related employment issues that intersect with broader commercial concerns.
A Practical, Client-Focused Approach
Although business disputes can be costly and time-consuming, litigation is not always the only solution. At Fink Bressack, we understand that most clients prefer to resolve conflicts efficiently so they can return their attention to day-to-day operations, but lawsuits can develop a life of their own, leading to ill-advised, litigation-driven business decisions. Throughout our representation, our attorneys remain focused on our clients’ long-term business needs and strategic goals—not just winning for the sake of winning. We work closely with our clients to evaluate all available options, including negotiation, mediation, and arbitration. When litigation is necessary, we provide aggressive and effective advocacy in court, but we never lose sight of the business realities. Our commitment to communication means clients remain fully informed about risks, costs, potential outcomes, and alternatives throughout the life of the case.
