Santa Cruz Business Litigation Attorney
Experienced and Powerful Representation
Businesses and individuals involved in any kind of transaction are at some degree of risk. Putting trust in others may not work in your favor. Having solid legal counsel on your side may mend a problem as soon as it arises or prevent it from happening in the first place.
For experienced business litigation services, contact my Santa Cruz, California office at 831-466-0753. At your low cost initial consultation we will focus on setting appropriate expectations and develop a clear plan for moving forward.
As your lawyer, I can negotiate or litigate on your behalf, bringing a prompt conclusion to a variety of business disputes.
Contract Disputes
I represent business clients in breach of contract disputes, including failures to pay.
Fiduciary Duties
A fiduciary duty is a legal relationship between two parties in which one must act in the other's best interests at all times. Fiduciary duties vary depending on the type of business involved.
A breach of one's fiduciary duty may occur when one party misrepresents the other's interests, breaking the trust that the relationship requires. In the case of an alleged breach, I undertake a fact-intensive analysis of the relationship and the conduct and pursue your best interests, whether through negotiation or litigation.
Employment Disputes
In an employment dispute, I work with employers to minimize the consequences of a suit and lessen the risks of future litigation. These lawsuits often include claims of retaliation and wage and hour disputes.
Business Torts
Laws governing tortious interference with an economic opportunity have recently changed in the state of California. I keep current on the changes so that I may assist you with allegations of fraud, non-disclosure, inappropriate sales tactics or other unfair business practices.
Trade Secrets
I handle business litigation and negotiation in intellectual property disputes, including trade secrets. Under California law, your former employer cannot prohibit you from competing with it. However, they can restrict your ability to solicit customers and share inside information. I can help former employees avoid lawsuits or defend them court.
