Michigan Business Litigation Attorney

A Business Lawyer Can Be Your Partner in Success

We are clearly different from all the rest. Regardless of the size of your business, we’ll represent your interests with unparalleled commitment and expertise. Most significantly, we offer businesses what many firms won’t – alternative fee arrangements designed to fit your unique situation. With a Michigan business litigation lawyer from our firm by your side, you will receive practical, efficient counsel.

Sommers Schwartz is the best choice to handle your business litigation needs because, unlike large, associate-laden law firms with bloated expenses and a one-size-fits-all billing model that promotes only excessive hourly billing, our firm has sophisticated legal experience combined with an entrepreneurial and flexible attorney structure that is capable of shaping each engagement with the best incentive for a successful resolution. The current hourly rates for the attorneys on our business litigation team are among the most competitive in the metropolitan-Detroit region. In addition to hourly representation, we are always willing to review and analyze matters to determine whether they can be handled by way of an “alternative fee arrangement.” Specifically, we often handle matters on the basis of fixed contingent fees, sliding scale contingent fees, or hybrid fees (reduced hourly rate combined with reduced contingent fee percentage). Furthermore, where applicable, we are willing to entertain representation on a “fixed fee” or “capped fee” basis.

We Represent Companies Across the Country

Lawyers in our business litigation practice represent both small and large companies in complex litigation. We have successfully handled a wide range of sophisticated, multi-party cases in courts across the country, offering the same caliber of service to entrepreneurs and smaller companies that we do to major corporations.

We aggressively prepare and try a case from start to finish. Our lawyers have not only tried lengthy cases to verdict but have also appeared in many state and federal courts of appeal. Our expertise lies both in identifying what rights our clients have and securing these rights by all lawful means.

Business litigation is a complex branch of the law that can be difficult to fully understand and manage without guidance from a legal attorney. Contracts, partnerships, and taxes may seem like minor concerns but they can become major sources of stress and worry if they are not handled properly. Therefore, having a business law attorney on whom you can rely and trust will ensure that all of your legal business matters are attended to according to the laws that govern them. Tax benefits, liabilities and the like can greatly impact the operation of a business – positively or negatively – and the results will greatly depend on the legal representation with which you choose to work. When a legal matter arises that involves a lawsuit and possible appearances in court, you want to ensure that you have the best legal defense on your side. Sommers Schwartz can provide just this; with a reputation for the knowledge and talent that can be found in each and every one of our associates, there can be no question as to the professionalism and dedication that will be applied to your business litigation matter.

We have the resources, the personnel, and the skills and confidence to handle increasingly complex business litigation matters. Our experience can benefit your enterprise, either as a plaintiff or defendant in business litigation.
