Business Disputes

High-stakes commercial litigation requires the highest quality advocacy. That’s where we come in.

Commercial disputes pose not just legal problems, but business disruptions. We minimize those disruptions and protect our clients’ interests by pairing early strategic planning with an elite courtroom capability that ensures opponents know we are always ready to go the distance. We have successfully defended against claims worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and we have won verdicts and awards as high as $1.34 billion for our clients.

Chambers & Partners has recognized Halpern May’s “highly regarded” corporate litigation practice, including “its expertise in commercial litigation” and its experience “representing clients in complex litigation.” Our clients include Fortune 500 companies and their executives, startups and their founders, and businesses and professionals across a variety of industries.

Commercial Torts & Contract Breaches
We have years of experience addressing unfair commercial dealings, from broken promises to calculated fraud and deceit. We hone in on the key issues that can make or break a case, and always keep an unwavering eye towards trial. We never stop thinking about how to bring our client’s story to life, so that the eventual decisionmaker—be it an arbitrator, judge, or jury—understands exactly what is on the line for the stakeholders who have invested their lives and careers into these businesses.
Partnership & Shareholder Disputes
When businesses go through internal shakeups, disagreements, and even divorces, we dig in to get to the bottom of how those businesses have been governed—and who has been getting paid—to make sure our clients’ voices are heard and their causes are championed.
Financial Fraud & Corporate Malfeasance
If you or your business has been the victim of wrongdoing, no one is better-suited than our team—which includes several former federal prosecutors—to hold transgressors accountable and fight for justice (and you).
