Virtually every business entity must grapple with commercial litigation, whether as plaintiff or defendant, ranging from routine contract disputes to complex cases that threaten a company's viability. In today's global economy and information-laden world, complex litigation has become more time-consuming, expensive and distracting than ever before. Day Pitney's Complex Commercial Litigation practice, consisting of more than 45 attorneys in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York, is primed and ready to handle all such complex business disputes on behalf of multinational, national and local businesses in the Northeast and elsewhere. From initial notice of a dispute through final resolution - whether by trial, appeal or alternative dispute resolution such as mediation or arbitration - our trial lawyers partner with our clients to define strategic objectives, develop an efficient and cost-effective plan to meet them, and implement that plan to achieve the best possible resolution with the least expenditure of resources in the shortest amount of time possible.
Our experience, results and commitment to client service have generated loyal and successful relationships in which our clients rely on us to handle complex litigation in the following areas:

We work hand-in-hand with our colleagues in the firm's Individual Clients department, which is one of the largest and most sophisticated in the country, drawing upon their technical estate planning, estate administration and tax experience to give our clients unique advantages in avoiding and pursuing litigation. This team approach maximizes the likelihood of success for our clients.
