Business Litigation

Laredo & Smith is focused on results. When clients encounter business disputes or allegations of wrongdoing, our lawyers work quickly to fully understand the facts and analyze the laws governing the scenario. We develop creative, practical legal solutions that resolve problems and get our clients get back to running their businesses.

Our business litigation team defends and advocates on behalf of small and mid-sized companies across the banking, construction, financial services, high tech, healthcare, higher education, manufacturing, and real estate industries. We advise owners, shareholders, c-suite executives, employers and employees in connection with virtually all business disputes. Laredo & Smith lawyers call upon decades of experience in business litigation and government enforcement actions, equipping us to handle complex cases, including managing parallel civil and criminal proceedings should they arise.

Whenever possible, we help clients avoid litigation, but should litigation become necessary, our team actively pursues their interests through bench and jury trials as well as the appeals process.

• appellate
