Overview

When business disputes arise, they can threaten operations, personal, product lines and profits.  Regardless of the size of the claim, clients turn to us to help protect their interests and secure their future.

Resolving disputes does not always mean litigation.  Many times we are called upon to evaluate disputes involving purchase and sale agreements, leases, intellectual property, construction, and security interests.  Often, these disputes can be resolved without engaging in litigation.

When avenues of recourse have been exhausted, clients can count on us to take matters to trial.  We litigate all types of commercial controversies.  From breach of contract and claims of fraud to dissolution of joint ventures, our lawyers are skilled at assessing the situation, analyzing risks and arguing the threshold legal issues that may limit time in court.  Our experience has resulted in efficient processes for managing discovery and effectively turning mountains of data into compelling legal and factual talking points.

Litigation has the potential to disrupt a business, soak up management time and create uncertainty.  We work with clients to resolve disputes and avoid litigation.  Whether bound by an agreement or with an eye toward finding a more economical means of resolution, we represented clients in arbitration, mediation, and other forms of resolution.  Ultimately, we're focused on getting results that align with client strategies and goals, whether it be in court or through a form of alternative dispute resolution.

Successes

  • Following a lengthy discovery period involving dozens of depositions and expert discovery that took place against a backdrop of unique COVID-19 protocols, we filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings to eliminate Sunfarms’ equitable claims and a Motion for Summary Judgment on Plaintiff’s contract claims. The Court granted both motions and entered judgment in Eurus’ favor on all of Plaintiffs’ claims.

  • On May 19, 2022, in three separate opinions, the California Court of Appeal for the Second District ruled that our client had not violated the anti-Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (“anti-SLAPP”) statute.

  • In 2016, our client, the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (the Port), entered into negotiations with Harbor Performance Enhancement Center (HPEC) concerning the possible development of a terminal support facility. In 2018, after years of unsuccessful negotiations, the Port ended negotiations. Since June 2019, HPEC has sought to contest that determination in three different cases in two different courts. The dispute centers on the validity and parties’ performance of a number of agreements–including an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA), Amendment to the ENA, and two Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs).
