Commercial Litigation and Dispute Resolution
Powell Trachtman has extensive commercial litigation experience in courts throughout the region. Our trial lawyers are well known for their doggedness, skills, and results, they have been recognized by the media as Philadelphia “Super Lawyers,” they serve as law school professors, and they are regularly engaged to teach both lawyers and businesspeople how we do what we do. We have obtained numerous multi-million dollar verdicts, and we have successfully defended numerous multi-million dollar claims.
Just as important, we also have extensive experience in the prevention and efficient resolution of commercial litigation, and have deep expertise in mediation, arbitration, and other alternative dispute resolution methods. We are nationally published on “preventive law” techniques – for example, our attorneys have published such nationally-distributed books as What Every Executive Better Know About the Law (Simon & Schuster) and The Four Mistakes: Avoiding the Legal Landmines That Lead to Business Disaster (Sterling Publishing).
Below are some examples of the types of commercial disputes we regularly handle:
- Breach of contract claims;
- Claims arising from partner/shareholder disputes and business break-ups;
- Business torts, such as breach of fiduciary duty and interference with contract claims;
- Restrictive covenant litigation;
- Injunction matters;
- Intellectual property disputes, including copyright and trademark infringement claims;
- Employment practices claims;
- Director and officer liability claims;
- Debt collections;
- Claims arising from real estate transactions;
- Estate and trust disputes;
- Condemnation proceedings;
- Civil rights actions;
- Uniform Commercial Code claims.
