We are always prepared to try a case to verdict. Our substantial trial experience informs us, however, that litigation can be an inefficient and costly way of resolving a dispute, with an uncertain outcome. Accordingly, the firm is committed to prosecuting litigation in a strategic manner that will drive a favorable resolution through negotiation. If negotiations are not realistic or are unsuccessful, we will not hesitate to try the case.
