Litigation

Chadbourne's litigation department has earned a national reputation for excellence in complex high-stakes, high-profile business disputes. Our attorneys have extensive experience in a broad range of disciplines including products liability, commercial litigation, accountants' liability, securities litigation and regulatory enforcement, corporate governance, special investigations, environmental litigation, trusts and estates, insurance and reinsurance, and intellectual property.

Our practice comprises skilled trial lawyers who regularly try and win cases in state and federal courts throughout the United States and abroad. We also understand that disputes are often best resolved outside the courtroom, and we provide advice and devise action plans and policies that help clients avoid enmeshment in costly litigation in the first place. Thus, we make use of tools such as arbitration, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.

Complex litigation problems today sometimes take the form of not just a single proceeding, but numerous related cases going forward simultaneously, and our litigators are skilled in managing complex, multi-jurisdictional litigation around the globe. We have the resources and knowledge to handle major litigation of large dimensions on a long-term basis; yet we also have the flexibility to handle smaller cases in a cost-effective manner.

Our department’s ability to provide strategic business counsel for our clients has earned recognition in leading directories, including:

• Chambers Global - The World’s Leading Lawyers for Business
• Chambers USA - America’s Leading Lawyers for Business
• Benchmark Litigation 
• Practical Law Company's Dispute Resolution Handbook
• Who’s Who Legal - The International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers
