BUSINESS LITIGATION

Our partners, and many of our clients, began their careers in a world where a businessperson's word was his or her bond, and a handshake was as reliable as a signed legal document. We are proud to share the highest of business standards with our clients.

Unfortunately, a small but significant percentage of actors on the business stage will continue to seek unfair advantage, will be unable to meet their well-intended business obligations, or will use the courts as a strategic tool, instead of a forum of last resort.

Adams | Nye | Trapani | Becht LLP has been, and continues to be, honored to represent small businesses and Fortune 500 companies in significant, high-profile business litigation.

	A major oil company was defrauded in the sale of a subsidiary. Adams | Nye | Trapani | Becht LLP filed suit and forced a substantial settlement.
	A large concrete contractor faced groundless antitrust allegations from related businesses. We favorably concluded the case with minimal payment.
	Investors in a large, charitable endeavor learned that their "investment" was actually part of a pyramid scheme. Adams | Nye | Trapani | Becht LLP recovered their life savings and their attorneys' fees.
	A national manufacturer was unjustly sued by a large customer. Adams | Nye | Trapani | Becht LLP resolved the dispute in a way that minimized payment and legal expenses, while maintaining the business relationship.

We recognize that our business clients are in the business of manufacturing, selling, and providing services to their customers. Litigation is an impediment to that mission. We strongly encourage various forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution, including mediation and binding arbitration. When alternative methods fail, however, Adams | Nye | Trapani | Becht LLP brings a degree of experience in "traditional dispute resolution" — bench and jury trials — found in few other firms.
