Business Litigation
Being a business owner is tough enough without having to deal with disputes with partners, customers, vendors, unions or the government. In this fast paced and highly competitive world, that only slows you down and increases your costs. But those problems are inevitable. When you can’t solve them yourself, a lawyer can help, one who is experienced, takes the time to understand your business and knows how to solve problems.
“I’ve owned a construction company for over 30 years. Like any business, we have problems from time to time, in my case with unions, government agencies, customers and vendors. For the past 12 years, Mike Farhi and his firm have helped me solve them. I don’t like lawsuits and Mike has worked to avoid them. In fact, we only had one and he got me a favorable result. My experience with Mike, who has handled my personal real estate matters, has given me confidence in their judgment and trust in their integrity. They know what it’s like to run a business and to really be a partner to their clients. I’d recommend them to any business owner, big or small.”

Economical Business Dispute Solutions
Our goal in commercial disputes and litigation is to protect a client’s overall business interests, in other words looking at the big picture. Sometimes, it makes better business sense to settle a claim. On the other hand, there are times when it’s better to pursue or defend a smaller claim, to avoid setting a precedent and inviting additional claims.
Because avoiding large legal fees is also an important goal (we want to keep your business), we know there may be quicker and more economical ways to resolve a dispute, like mediation or arbitration. We have been mediators ourselves and know the value of bringing a dispute before a “neutral” who knows the law and can provide independent analysis and recommendations.
