Business Litigation

The members of SKO’s Business Litigation Group understand that individuals and companies involved in complex and high-stakes disputes need trial lawyers who not only know the law, but also make it their business to understand the client’s business. The members of SKO’s Business Litigation Group thus work both as zealous advocates and problem solvers – the enduring qualities of trial lawyers.

Members of SKO’s Business Litigation Group represent many of the firm’s clients, including Lexmark, E.ON U.S., and Fifth Third Bank, in complex litigation matters. The group’s members are continually recognized as some of the best litigators in their respective fields. The group is listed as a leader in Chambers USA, and several of its members are individually recognized in publications such as Chambers, Best Lawyers in America, and Super Lawyers, and many of its members have received the highest rating bestowed upon attorneys by the respected publication Martindale-Hubbell. As acknowledged in the Chambers 2009 Client’s Guide and the sources consulted by Chambers, the group is known for its “high-profile cases and great connections,” its “impeccable trial lawyers,” and its “focus on cost containment and understanding a business’ requirements.”

SKO’s Business Litigation Group places an emphasis on strategic thinking. SKO’s litigators, often working in carefully constructed teams, fight hard for our clients, but too much is at stake to do so without careful and constant consideration of what the best result for the client is in each matter. SKO’s litigators work with our clients from the outset of a dispute to determine the best result that can be obtained and will frequently revisit the issue with our client to ensure that its best interest is what guides our representation. We never lose sight of the fact that while litigation may be necessary, it is not the goal - the goal is to obtain the best possible result for our clients.

Members of the Business Litigation Group are experienced in a vast array of litigation matters, frequently representing clients in matters concerning:
* Business Torts (including contractual disputes, shareholder disputes, fiduciary duty claims)
* Intellectual Property Rights (including patent, copyright, and trademark)
* Antitrust and Trade Regulation
* Environmental Litigation
* Lender Liability
* Equine Law
* Eminent Domain and Real Estate
* Securities Law
* Class Actions
