Commercial Litigation

No Substitute for Preparation and Readiness

Anyone who has ever been a party to a lawsuit knows that litigation can be expensive. And while most cases settle before ever going to trial, there is simply no substitute for preparation and readiness.  The best way to be in a position to settle is to be prepared and ready for trial.  At MABLG, we approach every matter with the assumption that the case will go to trial, while always remaining open to settlement.

When it comes to commercial litigation, our first step is to perform a thorough analysis of the facts of the case and advise our client according to the law.  We come to know the facts of the case inside and out.  Our second step will be to give you our honest and thoughtful assessment of the merits and/or defenses of the case and the liability risks involved. 

Once the decision has been made to go forward with litigation, MABLG goes into full “trial mode”.  We focus on pre-trial strategies that are most likely to resolve matters in your favor before trial or reduce the issues we take to trial. Regardless of whether we are bringing the case or defending against one, we don’t wait for things to happen.  We take proactive steps to make things happen. 

We don’t get into a battle of rhetoric or personalities with opposing counsel.  We don’t waste time or our client’s money on frivolous motions. We utilize every tool available in trial practice to equip our clients to win the case.  We draft poignant and relevant discovery that gets to the heart of the issue of the case.  We take depositions.  We submit and argue the necessary pleadings and motions with the court to help narrow the issues in the case. We prepare for and argue hearings. We stay informed.  We stay professional.  We stay on top of the case.  We stay “trial ready”.  We keep our clients apprised of the status of the case and what the options are at any given time.
