Our commercial and business litigation practice focuses on contractual disputes, business torts, claims of unfair competition, advertising liability, negligent misrepresentation, interference with contracts or economic expectancies and bad faith. We litigate all types of cases under the Uniform Commercial Code, including sales of goods, leases, security interests, loan transactions and banking disputes, and regularly appear in equitable actions involving the enforcement of supply contracts. In addition, we defend manufacturers in cases arising under statutes such as federal and state consumer protection laws or laws regulating trade practices. Many of these engagements involve class actions, multi-district litigation or appearances before regulatory bodies or administrative agencies. We also represent clients in a variety of sophisticated contractual disputes arising out of sales of goods (with a special focus on the representation of automotive suppliers), the purchase and sale of businesses, utility contracts, the transfer or licensing of intellectual property, construction contracts and partnership disputes.
Our firm has the expertise to undertake complex issues at every stage of trial practice, from preliminary injunctions through final verdict. We have pioneered efforts to develop faster, more economical techniques to resolve commercial disputes outside of traditional litigation, and we counsel clients on various alternative dispute resolution devices.
Harvey Kruse has a reputation for aggressively pursuing our clients' interests in business litigation matters. We understand the critical impact that litigation can have on an individual and on a business' ability to meet its goals and responsibilities. We always conduct litigation as efficiently as possible so that expenses are minimized and our clients do not have to spend any more time concerned with the details of a lawsuit than is absolutely necessary.
At Harvey Kruse, we are accomplished litigators and our clients know they can count on our decades of experience to give them an advantage in any pre-trial or courtroom setting. Whether litigation is focused on local interests or in other parts of the country, we have the resources and the experience to take on even the most complex cases.
