Practice Areas

Four practices, tried by hand.

We keep the practice narrow on purpose. Depth in a few high-stakes areas — the same courts, the same adversaries, year after year — is worth more to a client than breadth across many.

Practice 01

Complex Commercial Litigation

We represent closely held businesses and their owners in the disputes that decide the future of a company — breaches of contract, partnership and shareholder conflicts, and breaches of fiduciary duty. We prepare every matter for trial, which is usually what makes a fair settlement possible; when it isn't, we try it.

Contract disputes
Partnership & shareholder
Fiduciary duty
Business torts
Injunctions

Practice 02

Employment & Executive Disputes

Gia leads our employment practice on both sides of the table — discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claims, and the higher-stakes departures of senior executives, where compensation, non-competes, and reputation are all in play at once. We read the entire record, and we build the one the other side hoped no one would.

Discrimination & retaliation
Executive separations
Non-compete & trade secrets
Whistleblower
Wage & hour

Practice 03

White-Collar Defense & Investigations

When a client receives a subpoena, a target letter, or the first sign of a regulatory inquiry, the early decisions matter most. Darius manages government investigations and confidential internal reviews with discretion — the goal is to resolve a matter quietly, before it becomes a public one.

Government investigations
Subpoena response
Internal investigations
Regulatory inquiries
Compliance counseling

Practice 04

Appellate & Critical Motions

Some cases are won or lost on a single motion or on appeal, where the record and the writing have to be exact. Trial teams bring us in for the briefs and arguments that turn a case — dispositive motions, post-trial practice, and appeals in state and federal court.

Dispositive motions
State & federal appeals
Post-trial practice
Amicus briefs

How We Work

The same standard on every matter.

Prepared for trial

We build each case as if it will be tried — because the credible threat of trial is what produces a fair result short of one.

A partner's attention

A small docket is a deliberate choice. The lawyer you retain is the one who does the work, start to finish.

Candid counsel

We tell clients what a matter is worth and what it will take — including when the right advice is not to litigate at all.

Consultations by appointment

Not sure where your matter fits?

Most clients aren't when they first call. Describe the situation in plain terms — sorting out the right approach is our work, not yours.
