K&W represents small, medium and large-sized businesses in a wide variety of business disputes. We have achieved substantial victories for our clients in federal and state courts before both juries and the bench, and in mediation and arbitration proceedings. We have expertise in a broad range of business litigation matters, including contracts disputes, construction disputes and professional malpractice disputes. We pay particular attention to pre-litigation contract advice, an often overlooked but critical period for the strengthening of a claim or defense.

As a boutique commercial litigation firm, K&W is ideally suited to serve businesses in need of cost-effective legal representation. We are able to represent clients of all sizes and cater to their economic abilities on an individual level. At the same time, we are equally dedicated to each of our clients, no matter the size. Our attorneys are motivated and efficient, which always provides us with a leg up on the competition in providing innovative and cost-effective solutions.

A substantial amount of commercial litigation involves contractual disagreements. As such, K&W attorneys have extensive experience in the handling of contract disputes, including claims arising under the Uniform Commercial Code, claims based on oral contracts, claims based on the implied warranty of good-faith and fair dealing, claims involving fraudulent inducement to enter into a contract, disputes over real estate contracts, claims involving partnership agreements, issues dealing with the termination and formation of partnership agreements and disputes over insurance coverage. Our attorneys have litigated these complex issues in state and federal courts.

In addition to our extensive familiarity with the litigation process, K&W has experience in alternative methods of dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration. Our attorneys have represented clients in binding arbitration proceedings concerning complex business disputes. As the judiciary continues to require a significant number of cases to engage in mediation prior to trial, K&W is continuing to evolve its business to accommodate for such. Whether a dispute is handled before a jury or by a mediator, K&W vigorously advocates for the most desirable result for our clients.
