Protecting enterprise value
When a dispute threatens the business you built.
Commercial litigation changes a company long before trial. Michael represents businesses and professionals in contract, partnership, and financial disputes that demand early control of the facts and a strategy built for court.
Control exposure without losing sight of the enterprise.
A commercial dispute rarely exists in isolation. The analysis must account for contract language, decision authority, available remedies, insurance or indemnity, collectability, and the effect of litigation on operations. Early strategy should distinguish what can be resolved from what requires a trial record.
Issues requiring early analysis
- Breach of contract
- Partnership and ownership disputes
- Vendor and commercial conflicts
- Business torts
- High-value financial claims
The working method

Protect the records, testimony, data, and physical evidence that can disappear.
- 02Prove
Build causation and damages through documents, experts, and a coherent theory of the case.
- 03Position
Prepare the matter so negotiation is backed by credible trial risk.
