Commercial and IP Litigation

Business disputes are inevitable, no matter how well contracts are negotiated and despite how well-run the company is. NZA has handled many different types of commercial litigation disputes at trial and arbitration. We have represented clients in federal and state court throughout the country (and in some circumstances, internationally) on commercial fights involving claims of fraud, breach of contract, or breach of warranty. The potential exposure in these cases can range from six- to eight-figure claims or more.

We use our trial experience advantage in commercial litigation to obtain the best possible results under the circumstances. We find that we provide better experience and value than firms much larger than ours. Our trial experience offers a vast advantage.

That experience also serves us well in drafting transactional documents, in order to avoid potential pitfalls.

NZA attorneys defend class action and multi-district litigation for its commercial clients.  We are comfortable in any court, state or federal, and participate in the federal trial bar.

Our partners are also experienced in dealing with intellectual property disputes and litigation. We have handled and litigated patent and trademark disputes and were recently successful in defending a Chinese manufacturer in a Markman hearing in California, resulting in early termination of the claim in our favor.
