Skilled Advocacy for Complex Business Disputes

Greenberg Traurig’s Commercial Litigation Practice is highly skilled in business dispute litigation and has wide-ranging experience with the issues that typically arise in this growing area of law. These include corporate governance and compliance with full valuation, fiduciary obligations, minority shareholder concerns, accounting, and ethical aspects. Often litigating issues of first impression, our team comprises experienced trial lawyers who understand broad business implications and can draw on the firm’s multidisciplinary teams in industries such as financial services, accounting, insurance, real estate, construction, trusts & estates, and entertainment to devise creative and efficient strategies. Our client base is diverse, and we regularly represent national and multinational corporations and national and locally based law firms, accounting firms, private equity, investment banks, advertising agencies, architectural firms, and artists in disputes, mergers and acquisitions and liquidations, and before regulatory and self-regulatory organizations.

A Practice Defined by Experience and Depth

Business disputes are rarely simple. They can involve competing interests, complex financial structures, intricate contractual relationships, long-term personal relationships, and legal questions that can have far-reaching consequences for the companies and individuals involved. Greenberg Traurig’s Commercial Litigation Practice is built to handle exactly these kinds of matters, bringing together experienced trial lawyers, deep industry knowledge, and the full resources of a global law firm.

As our attorneys have litigated issues of first impression, we have confronted complex legal questions that courts had not previously addressed. This experience reflects not only the sophistication of the matters we handle but also the caliber of the legal thinking our teams bring to every engagement. When the law is unsettled and the stakes are high, clients turn to Greenberg Traurig.

Multidisciplinary Strategies for Complex Disputes

One of the defining strengths of our Commercial Litigation Practice is our ability to draw on Greenberg Traurig’s broad multidisciplinary platform. Business disputes rarely exist in a single legal dimension; a corporate governance dispute may implicate securities law, fiduciary duty principles, and complex accounting questions all at once. A commercial contract case may require deep knowledge in a specific industry to understand what the parties intended and what the evidence means.

This cross-practice collaboration allows our team to devise creative and efficient litigation strategies that account for the full business context of every dispute, not just the narrow legal question at issue.

Corporate Governance, Compliance, and Valuation

Among the most consequential disputes a business can face are those that go to the heart of how a company is governed and managed. Greenberg Traurig’s Commercial Litigation attorneys have broad experience with corporate governance and compliance matters, including disputes involving fiduciary duties, shareholder rights, board conduct, and executive accountability.

We also bring sophisticated knowledge of the valuation, accounting, and ethical issues that routinely arise in business litigation. Whether a case hinges on the proper valuation of a business interest, the accuracy of financial statements, or the professional conduct of an accountant or other advisor, our team has the experience and the resources to engage with these issues effectively. This experience is particularly valuable in matters involving mergers and acquisitions, business dissolutions, and liquidations where financial and valuation disputes, and the representations made are often central to the outcome.

Regulatory and Self-Regulatory Proceedings

Commercial disputes do not always play out in courtrooms. Many of our clients face proceedings before regulatory agencies and self-regulatory organizations that can have significant consequences for their businesses and reputations. Greenberg Traurig’s Commercial Litigation attorneys are experienced in representing clients in these forums, bringing the same level of preparation, strategic thinking, and advocacy that defines our courtroom work.

Whether the proceeding involves a federal or state regulatory agency, a financial industry self-regulatory body, or a professional standards organization, our team understands the rules, the decision-makers, and formulating related legal strategies, as often such proceedings overlap with other proceedings or lawsuits.

Legal Counsel of Choice for Many Companies and Professionals

When businesses face disputes that threaten their interests, their reputations, or their futures, they need a litigation team that combines deep legal knowledge and experience with a genuine understanding of the business world. Greenberg Traurig’s Commercial Litigation Practice delivers on this. Our experienced trial lawyers, multidisciplinary approach, and diverse client base position us as choice legal counsel for many companies and professionals navigating the most challenging disputes in today’s complex legal and business environment.
