Tireless support for our client’s litigation objectives
At Quarles, we always strive to represent our clients in ways that reduce formal legal proceedings. We can offer frequent meetings to review and consider pending litigation and how it fits with your business priorities. We anticipate litigation needs and provide sound advice and counsel in ways to avoid or minimize risk and manage costs effectively. Above all, we operate by the principle that your company culture, your vision and values, your products and services, and the mission you fulfill are as important to effective, efficient representation as our outstanding legal capabilities. We can help you prepare risk-reward and cost analyses before entering into litigation and at key junctures as it proceeds. When we work for you, we consider ourselves an extension of your legal department — working in partnership to secure the best outcomes for your business.
Strong courtroom presence and custom-designed legal support
While we always seek to help you understand the benefits and costs of litigation, we also have tremendous depth of experience in representing clients in court, both at trial and on appeal. We have handled litigation in every state, understand the local demands and have a national reputation for proactive, aggressive pursuit of our clients’ cases in the courtroom. Our experienced attorneys have represented clients in the areas of product liability, intellectual property, labor and employment, commercial and toxic tort claims in state and federal courts alike. Whether or not your legal matters lead to the courtroom, your Quarles Litigation & Dispute Resolution team will be custom designed to address your specific needs aggressively, competently and efficiently.
