Litigation

Moore & Van Allen understands that every dispute is important, whether it is a “bet the company” case or one that may have little financial impact but will vindicate principles that are important to our clients. We understand that every case must be taken seriously and managed thoughtfully. Moore & Van Allen lawyers take pride in their willingness and ability to take any dispute to trial or arbitration whenever it is in the client’s best interest. We take pride also in using our best judgment to give reliable advice to clients about when to go to trial and when to seek an alternative resolution for any dispute.

For large and small cases with complicated issues or complex procedural postures, our lawyers have the experience and the depth of resources in software support, the deployment of flexible personnel, research capabilities, electronic discovery, and working with co-counsel and co-parties alike to solve the problem. We have extensive class-action experience.

We are adept at achieving good outcomes in varying forms of alternative dispute resolution, to reduce the costs, uncertainty, disruptiveness and potential precedents of litigation. We are experienced in all forms of alternative dispute resolution, including mini-trials, mediation and arbitration.

We are not “defense” lawyers or “plaintiffs” lawyers; we are trial lawyers. And for each matter, we assemble a knowledgeable litigation team with varied skills and hourly rates, headed by an accessible member to provide cost-efficient solutions for our clients—from large corporations to start-ups and across industries. Our litigators work closely with all of the lawyers in our various practice groups to develop the best solution for our clients. We work seamlessly with our bankruptcy and restructure group, our employee benefits groups, our environmental group, our wealth transfer group, our finance group, and our corporate groups to ensure that the knowledge all these areas of the law is up-to-date and to ensure that relevant legal knowledge is brought to bear and to find solutions that make both litigation and business sense for our clients.
