High-Stakes Business Litigation
KLORES PERRY MITCHELL represents business clients who have been damaged by unlawful commercial conduct. At a time when in-house counsel are focused on efficiency and costs, businesses are too often represented by outside lawyers overcharging for "desk litigation." Lawyers who do not know their way around a courtroom can neither win complex business cases, nor obtain the best settlement results. Our lawyers cull from their judicial clerkships, significant frontline experience practicing in large corporate law firms and measurable record of success to provide our clients with best in class legal representation. We have found that our 30-year history of successfully trying cases for individuals in state and federal courts provides our business clients with an alternative to BigLaw representation and a unique and lucrative advantage. We are trial lawyers that get to the end zone, not desk litigators sitting behind closed doors.
We prefer fee agreements with business clients that reward efficiency and success. The bottom-line is essential to business survival, and paying hourly legal fees to recover for business wrongs only adds to the client's damages. We do not charge by the hour, and we do not generate voluminous, monthly bills. We use contingency fee agreements, which are transparent and ensure a predictable budget for the client. We believe that businesses involved in high-stakes litigation, like individuals, are best served when the lawyer's interests and the client's interests are aligned. Contingency fees are what we know; Winning is what we do.
KPM has prosecuted high-stakes commercial claims arising out of a wide variety of business transactions and contracts, before courts and arbitration panels. We have handled contract-based claims, as well as business tort lawsuits, including claims of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, defamation, racketeering, civil conspiracy, tortious interference with contracts and intellectual property disputes. We have experience litigating, winning and obtaining favorable settlements in cases involving disputes between our clients and insurance companies; banks and other financial institutions; and former business partners and local, state and federal government authorities.
KPM is often consulted in matters involving a significant dispute where the client's goal is to resolve it without litigation in order to preserve a valuable commercial relationship. With the right strategy, that goal can be attained, while still positioning the dispute for victory at trial if an amicable resolution cannot be reached.
