When business disputes escalate beyond negotiation, you need experienced litigation counsel who can protect your interests through complex court proceedings. We represent clients in federal and Colorado state courts across a broad spectrum of commercial litigation matters, combining strategic thinking with aggressive advocacy to achieve the best possible outcomes—whether through settlement, trial, or appeal.
Our litigation practice encompasses intellectual property disputes, including trademark infringement, copyright violations, patent litigation, trade secret misappropriation, and unfair competition claims. We handle cases involving brand protection, counterfeiting, domain name disputes, and licensing disagreements, representing both plaintiffs asserting their IP rights and defendants facing infringement allegations.
We litigate business and commercial disputes of all types, including breach of contract actions, partnership and shareholder disputes, business divorce and dissolution matters, breach of fiduciary duty claims, fraud and misrepresentation cases, and tortious interference with business relationships. Whether you're enforcing a contract, defending against unwarranted claims, or navigating a dispute with business partners, we provide skilled representation grounded in a deep understanding of business operations and commercial realities.
Our contract litigation services address breaches of service agreements, vendor disputes, customer conflicts, distribution and franchise agreement disputes, real estate contracts, and employment agreement violations. We pursue or defend claims for damages, specific performance, declaratory relief, and injunctive relief, depending on what your situation demands.
We handle the full litigation lifecycle, from pre-litigation demand letters and settlement negotiations through discovery, motion practice, trial preparation, and courtroom advocacy. Our approach is strategic and cost-conscious—we evaluate the business implications of litigation decisions, not just the legal merits, and we're always candid about risks, costs, and likelihood of success.
When disputes involve federal questions, diversity jurisdiction, or matters best suited for federal court—such as intellectual property, securities, or complex multi-state commercial cases—we leverage our experience in U.S. District Courts. For state law claims, contractual disputes, and matters within Colorado's jurisdiction, we provide seasoned representation in Colorado district and county courts.
We also handle appellate matters, taking cases to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Colorado Court of Appeals when trial court decisions warrant review or when legal issues require appellate resolution.
Our litigation billing offers flexibility to match your needs and risk tolerance. We provide traditional hourly billing for clients who prefer that structure, as well as blended contingency arrangements that align our interests with yours—allowing us to share both the risk and the reward of successful outcomes. This flexibility makes quality litigation representation accessible even when facing well-funded opponents.
Whether you're contemplating litigation, responding to a complaint, or in the middle of active proceedings, we provide the experienced counsel and tenacious advocacy your business deserves.
E-commerce platforms have become essential marketplaces for modern businesses, but they also present unique legal challenges that require specialized knowledge and strategic advocacy. We provide focused representation for businesses facing domain name disputes, Amazon seller conflicts, account suspensions, and other platform-related legal matters that can threaten your online revenue and brand reputation.
Our domain dispute services include UDRP (Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy) proceedings to recover domain names that infringe your trademarks or constitute cybersquatting. We represent both complainants seeking to reclaim domains that violate their intellectual property rights and respondents defending legitimate domain ownership against overreaching claims. We also handle domain negotiation and acquisition matters, cease and desist correspondence, and litigation involving domain name rights when administrative proceedings aren't sufficient.
For Amazon sellers, we understand that your seller account represents a critical business asset—and that Amazon's policies, enforcement actions, and dispute resolution processes can be opaque, frustrating, and potentially devastating to your business. We represent sellers facing account suspensions, listing removals, withheld funds, intellectual property complaints, inauthentic item claims, and policy violation allegations.
Our Amazon dispute services include crafting persuasive appeals and Plans of Action that address Amazon's concerns while protecting your long-term seller privileges, representing you in disputes with other sellers over listing hijacking and counterfeit accusations, responding to intellectual property complaints and test buy programs, navigating Amazon's Brand Registry disputes and trademark infringement claims, and pursuing legal action when Amazon's internal processes fail to provide adequate relief.
We also assist with Apex disputes—Amazon's internal neutral patent evaluation process—helping patent owners enforce their rights against infringing sellers and defending sellers against questionable or overbroad patent assertions. This streamlined process requires careful strategic positioning and persuasive presentation of complex patent issues in a compressed timeframe.
Beyond Amazon, we handle disputes on other major platforms including eBay, Etsy, Shopify, and social media marketplaces. Platform-related litigation may involve breach of contract claims against the platforms themselves, defamation actions arising from marketplace reviews or complaints, tortious interference by competitors, and enforcement of platform terms of service.
We understand the urgency of these matters. Account suspensions can halt your revenue overnight, and timing is often critical in domain disputes and platform appeals. We respond quickly, communicate clearly about realistic timelines and outcomes, and fight aggressively to protect your online business presence.
Whether you're a brand owner protecting your intellectual property across digital channels, an e-commerce seller facing platform enforcement actions, or a business navigating the complex intersection of online marketplaces and legal rights, we provide the specialized knowledge and practical experience these disputes demand.
Not every legal dispute needs to end up in court. In fact, the most successful resolution is often one reached through strategic negotiation—saving you time, money, and the uncertainty of litigation while preserving valuable business relationships. We provide skilled negotiation and settlement advocacy designed to achieve favorable outcomes without the cost and disruption of protracted legal battles.
Our negotiation services begin with thorough preparation. We analyze the legal strengths and weaknesses of your position, assess the other party's likely motivations and constraints, identify leverage points, and develop a negotiation strategy tailored to your priorities. Whether your goal is maximum financial recovery, specific performance, ongoing business collaboration, or simply closing a chapter and moving forward, we align our approach with your business objectives—not just legal theories.
We handle pre-litigation negotiations that can resolve disputes before they escalate into formal lawsuits, saving both parties substantial legal fees and preserving confidentiality. Early intervention often produces better results, as parties haven't yet invested heavily in adversarial positions and emotions haven't completely overtaken business judgment. We draft demand letters that clearly articulate your position while leaving room for productive dialogue, respond to claims against you with persuasive defenses that encourage reasonable resolution, and facilitate direct negotiations between parties when relationships and trust levels permit.
When disputes have already resulted in litigation, we represent clients in settlement conferences, mediation proceedings, and direct settlement negotiations with opposing counsel. We prepare comprehensive settlement memoranda, present compelling arguments to mediators and opposing parties, and negotiate terms that address not just monetary relief but also injunctive provisions, confidentiality clauses, mutual releases, and non-disparagement agreements.
Our approach balances firmness with pragmatism. We're aggressive advocates for your interests, but we also recognize when continuing to fight costs more than it gains. We provide candid counsel about litigation risks, the costs of continued proceedings, and the realistic range of potential outcomes—empowering you to make informed decisions about when to push harder and when to accept a reasonable compromise.
Settlement negotiations often involve more than just resolving the immediate legal dispute. We help structure agreements that address underlying business issues, preserve ongoing commercial relationships where desired, protect confidential information and trade secrets, include appropriate indemnification and release provisions, and ensure enforceability through carefully drafted settlement agreements.
We also handle complex multi-party disputes where multiple stakeholders have competing interests, requiring sophisticated coordination and creative problem-solving. This includes business dissolution negotiations, partnership buyouts, complex contract disputes involving multiple vendors or customers, and class action or collective settlements.
Throughout the process, we maintain a sharp focus on protecting your business reputation. Litigation is public; settlement can be confidential. Court battles create permanent records; negotiated resolutions can include non-disclosure provisions. Trials produce winners and losers; settlements can be structured as mutual business decisions that allow all parties to save face.
Our flexible billing arrangements—including hourly rates and blended contingency structures—align our compensation with successful outcomes, ensuring we're invested in achieving results efficiently rather than prolonging disputes unnecessarily.
Whether you're seeking to resolve a dispute before it becomes litigation, exploring settlement options in an active case, or need skilled representation in formal mediation proceedings, we bring the advocacy skills, business judgment, and strategic thinking necessary to protect your interests while finding practical paths forward.
