Examples include: - Representing clients in complex business and contract disputes; - Representing individuals in serious personal injury claims, including wrongful death, product liability, and premises liability actions; - Representing clients in complex insurance disputes; - Defending businesses and individuals in actions alleging fraud and other torts; - Representing investors in securities and investment litigation, including before FINRA arbitration panels; - Defending corporate directors and officers in shareholder derivative actions; - Representing developers and other clients in real estate litigation and judicial foreclosure actions; - Defending accountants and other professionals in professional liability actions; - Defending large companies in consumer class actions; - Defending HOAs in construction defect actions; - Representing institutional investors in complex, multi-billion dollar securities class actions.
