In today’s evolving business landscape, legal disputes are not just common—they’re consequential. Whether stemming from contract breaches, shifting partnerships, or digital-era complexities, these disputes can disrupt operations, damage reputations, and divert leadership focus from core objectives. When the stakes are high, you need legal counsel that combines strategic insight with courtroom strength.

At Ferraro Law, we understand that commercial litigation isn’t just about resolving a claim—it’s about protecting what your business has worked hard to build. With a litigation team rooted in decades of complex trial experience, we approach business disputes with precision, responsiveness, and a steadfast commitment to our clients’ long-term success.

A Legal Team Rooted in Experience

Founded in 1985, Ferraro Law is nationally recognized for handling complex, high-stakes litigation. With a national reputation for success in complex litigation, we bring the same passion to commercial cases that defined our early victories in environmental toxic tort law. 

Companies and individuals can seek legal counsel from our experienced commercial litigators to resolve these disputes and protect their interests.

Our Business Litigation Focus

At Ferraro Law, our approach is tailored to the sensitivity of each case, with a clear understanding that complex commercial litigation can quickly affect daily operations, client relationships, and long-term growth.

  • Business Disputes: Disputes between business partners, shareholders, suppliers, and other stakeholders can threaten a company’s stability, growth, and internal cohesion. We represent clients in a broad range of intra-business conflicts, including:
    • Ownership and control disagreements
    • Partner and member exits
    • Business dissolution and succession disputes
    • Conflicts over strategic direction, profit allocation, or fiduciary duties

These matters often involve overlapping legal, financial, and emotional dynamics. Our approach is both strategic and pragmatic—we work to resolve disputes in a way that protects the enterprise and preserves long-term business value. Whether litigation is unavoidable or early resolution is possible, we are committed to safeguarding our clients’ rights and business interests at every stage.

  • Business Tort Litigation: When one party causes economic harm to another through intentional or negligent misconduct, business tort claims may be the appropriate remedy. We litigate a wide range of business torts, including:
    • Fraud and fraudulent inducement
    • Negligent misrepresentation
    • Tortious interference with contracts or business relationships
    • Unfair competition and deceptive business practices

Our team builds fact-driven claims supported by financial analysis, internal documentation, and industry context to demonstrate both wrongdoing and economic harm. In these cases, compensatory damages are often pursued to make the injured party whole—recovering losses or profits they would have earned but for the misconduct.

  • Intellectual Property and Trade Secret Misuse: In today’s innovation-driven economy, the misuse of confidential information or proprietary assets can have immediate and lasting consequences. We represent clients in high-stakes disputes involving:
    • Trade secret misappropriation
    • Breach of confidentiality agreements
    • Trademark infringement and brand misuse
    • IP disputes arising out of joint ventures and strategic alliances

These cases often demand swift legal action to prevent irreparable harm. We pursue appropriate remedies—including injunctions, specific performance, and monetary damages—while protecting the competitive edge our clients have worked hard to build.

What to Expect from the Process

At Ferraro Law, we understand that litigation is just one component of your broader business strategy. Our goal is to help you navigate disputes efficiently, with minimal disruption to your operations—while protecting what you’ve built.

Every case begins with a collaborative, strategic assessment of your situation. We take time to understand your business objectives, the legal context, the dynamics between the parties involved, and any relevant contracts or communications.

From there, our litigation team works closely with you to:

  • Clarify the Legal Issues at Stake: We assess the claims and defenses involved, evaluate relevant contract provisions, and outline the likely legal and business outcomes based on precedent, jurisdiction, and applicable law. In complex or multi-jurisdictional disputes, federal and state law may both play a role. We help you understand your rights and obligations—and develop a legal roadmap tailored to your position and goals.
  • Preserve Key Documentation and Communications: Evidence can make or break a case. We guide you in identifying, collecting, and preserving crucial records, including emails, contracts, invoices, internal reports, and correspondence. Maintaining clear and accessible documentation strengthens your position and supports your claims or defenses.
  • Explore Early Resolution Opportunities: While we are always prepared for trial, not every case needs to reach the courtroom. When appropriate, we pursue early resolution through negotiation, mediation, or structured settlement discussions. These strategies can be more cost-effective and allow you to control the outcome without the delay and expense of prolonged litigation. 
  • Provide End-to-End Litigation Support: If litigation proceeds, we represent you at every stage—from pleadings and discovery to motion practice, pre-trial conferences, and court appearances. We keep you informed throughout the process, providing regular updates and strategic guidance. Our reputation for courtroom success can influence how opposing counsel approach settlement, often working to your advantage.

We know how disruptive legal disputes can be. That’s why we focus on resolving them with strategy, efficiency, and clear communication—so you can stay focused on running and growing your business.

Dispute Resolution Methods

While some business disputes are appropriately resolved through arbitration or mediation, our primary focus is representing clients in complex, high-stakes litigation. We are trial-ready from day one—an approach that strengthens our clients’ negotiating position and drives favorable outcomes.

When alternative dispute resolution is in your best interest, we pursue it strategically. Whether through mediation, settlement negotiations, or arbitration, we work to resolve disputes efficiently and on favorable terms—without compromising your objectives. Our clients benefit from counsel that is both courtroom-tested and resolution-focused.

Commercial Litigation Strategies

Every business dispute is different—and so is our strategy. We tailor each litigation plan to the unique facts, legal landscape, and business priorities involved. From initial consultation to final resolution, we guide clients through each phase with precision and clarity.

Key elements of our litigation strategy include:

  • Careful analysis of contract terms, business relationships, and applicable law
  • Identification of all viable claims, defenses, and strategic leverage points
  • Exploration of resolution pathways, including pre-suit settlement and ADR
  • Trial readiness to maintain pressure and credibility throughout the process

By partnering with our experienced commercial litigators, clients gain a forward-thinking legal strategy that protects their interests and positions them for long-term success.

What Clients Can Expect from Our Team

A Practical Approach to Protecting What You’ve Built

Legal challenges often arise without warning—but how you respond can make all the difference. At Ferraro Law, we provide clients with clear, strategic guidance and steady legal support through every phase of a dispute.

Our deep litigation experience across a wide range of industries allows us to step in at any stage—including assuming control of complex cases from other firms when trial is imminent. We ensure our clients are fully prepared for high-stakes proceedings and protected throughout the litigation process.

We also understand that contracts are the foundation of most commercial relationships. We help clients interpret and enforce critical provisions, anticipate risks, and take proactive steps to safeguard their interests in disputes involving detailed or technical agreements.

While litigation in state or federal court typically becomes part of the public record, we offer strategies to help protect sensitive business information—including seeking protective orders, filing under seal, and using robust confidentiality agreements.

At every step, our focus remains the same: delivering practical solutions that protect what you’ve built and position your business for continued success.
