Lawsuits can have enormous effects on businesses, and whether you are initiating an action or responding to one, you will likely devote a considerable amount of both time and resources to that effort. With expert business litigators who know how to deliver results as quickly and cost-effectively as possible, the DeLuca Law Firm will provide the necessary legal services to protect your interests and let you get back to running your business.

Business-related disputes run the gamut, from seemingly simple to complex issues. Many suits can be settled through earnest negotiation, others are resolved by means of arbitration and mediation, and a small number proceed to trial before judges and juries in state and federal courts. We have vast experience in each of these forums, helping clients achieve the most favorable results.

We have obtained successful outcomes in business litigation involving: 

  • Breach of contract
  • Breach of fiduciary duty
  • Product liability and breach of warranty
  • Class actions
  • Fraud and misrepresentation claims
  • Business torts
  • Non-compete and non-solicitation agreements
  • Real estate and foreclosure actions
  • Shareholder, member, and partnership disputes
  • Minority shareholder oppression claims
  • Trade secret and unfair competition claims
  • Manufacturer Rep disputes
  • Employment Law claims

We have brought and defended cases for individuals, start-ups, small businesses, privately-held companies, and some of the world’s largest corporations, and also have substantial experience acting as regional counsel for several major automobile and commercial truck manufacturers. Regardless of the client, we take the time to thoroughly investigate every aspect, determine the objective, and craft an appropriate strategy to achieve the desired outcome.
