Commercial Litigation

Litigation can have a significant impact on a company's ability to achieve its business objectives. Sutton & Jacobs, LLP helps companies involved in commercial litigation assess their options and make decisions consistent with their goals.

Our commercial litigators have handled some of the largest cases ever litigated. We represent companies in complex litigation and alternative dispute resolution proceedings across a broad range of industries, from pharmaceutical and consumer products to financial services and airlines. We aggressively defend our clients' interests in matters such as breach of contract, consumer fraud and false advertising claims, corporate governance, and mergers and acquisitions.

Our team also includes a number of lawyers who focus their work in niche areas such as accountants' professional liability matters and insurance litigation.

Class Actions and MDLs

Our commercial litigation group has defended class actions of nearly every type filed, from product liability and ERISA matters to environmental and securities cases. We have structured multitiered class settlements for clients. Our advocacy in landmark cases has resulted in new class action law, and we have particular experience with class certification issues.

We also offer sophisticated, timely advice in multidistrict litigation involving major drug recall, securities, tobacco, and latex matters throughout the United States.

Alternative Dispute Resolution
In assessing our clients' options, we also incorporate our substantial knowledge of alternative dispute resolution. Many of our litigators are accredited mediators. Others are members of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and have significant experience in risk management strategies.

We have an impressive track record of achieving pre-trial settlements for our clients in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions as well as in international dispute resolution proceedings. We have represented clients in arbitration before the ICC, AAA, UNCITRAL, W.I.P.O., and the London Court of International Arbitration Rules.

Effective Case Management

Our litigation teams work closely with clients to ensure that litigation matters are managed efficiently. We carefully match the experience of our partners and associates to each case and provide our teams with new technologies for facilitating communication, research, and document management in large-scale, complex litigation.

Achieving Results

We are dedicated to resolving our clients' business disputes in the most effective and expeditious way possible. Through our extensive trial experience, strong record in ADR, industry knowledge, and advanced information technology systems, we produce winning strategies for our clients - both in and out of the courtroom.
