BUPD Law has responded to client needs for complex and sophisticated litigation capabilities by expanding our practice to include the addition of leading trial lawyers from some of the country’s most recognized litigation practices.

As a result of the challenges of the recent economic downturn, we have also assisted clients facing the difficulties and hardships of bankruptcy, workouts and restructuring litigation. Our litigation attorneys approach business disputes, complex commercial litigation, contract, and licensing disputes, and government contract matters with the experience and wisdom gained from years of resolving cases in these areas. We also have extensive experience litigating director and officer liability matters, fiduciary duty, and securities litigation as well as real estate litigation including condominium, construction-related, leasing and environmental litigation. Our attorneys are particularly attuned to maximizing the recovery of insurance proceeds for our clients and as a result have successfully recovered millions of dollars in savings for our clients.

When it comes to protecting intellectual property, we have experience in general intellectual property asset protection, including copyright and trademark, licensing negotiations and agreements, and protection of proprietary information, especially with respect to real estate transactions.

From commercial matters and business disputes to the most difficult “bet-the-company” cases, BUPD Law trial lawyers collaborate with clients, and at times, work in partnership with co-counsel to deliver results to clients. We provide clients with strong advocacy and trial experience accompanied by negotiation strategies tailored to the needs of the case. We are always mindful of costs, staffing and the need to work within a budget and time constraints and strive to eliminate surprises by keeping clients abreast of any changes in timing or budgets.

We understand the importance of managing client expectations through frequent and on-going communication and begin by asking clients about the surrounding facts and circumstances, the relevant business considerations, the ultimate goal and the budget. After formulating the best legal strategy for the case, we discuss this strategy with the client or co-counsel and make necessary adjustments. A litigation budget is then prepared and submitted to the client for approval. Depending on the nature of the subject matter, we may involve experts to evaluate claims, defenses and damages.

Following this initial conference, we investigate the facts by reviewing key documents and interviewing critical witnesses. Simultaneously, we explore legal theories that will advance the client’s interests. All claims are evaluated by examining the legal basis for the claimant’s position and an evaluation of potential defenses that would either negate or offset a portion of the damages.

When appropriate, we employ junior level lawyers to perform legal research and draft research memoranda for more senior lawyers and partners, who then prepare initial evaluations and recommendations for clients.
