Commercial Litigation

Hale Friesen’s commercial litigation attorneys handle a broad range of complex commercial matters in state and federal courts and administrative agencies throughout the country. We have extensive experience in contract disputes, class actions, securities litigation, telecommunications disputes, antitrust law, intellectual property litigation, construction law, complex business litigation, natural resources litigation, water law, insurance disputes, trademark cases, professional liability actions, products liability defense, trade secrets and unfair competition.

We have represented clients across numerous industries including manufacturing, consumer products, retail, energy, healthcare, financial services, technology, telecommunications, governmental agencies and political parties, agricultural, ranching, and various trade associations.

An essential part of our litigation practice involves representing clients in alternative dispute resolution. We advise our clients about advantages and disadvantages of the various forms of alternative dispute resolution including neutral evaluations, mediation's and arbitration; we have achieved outstanding results for our clients in each of those settings. Our lawyers regularly conduct mediation's and arbitration's before the American Arbitration Association's Judicial Arbiter Group.

Our litigation attorneys have been recognized as some of the best lawyers in America and have served as leaders of numerous community organizations and national, state and local bar associations. The majority of our attorneys have clerked for federal judges, including one who clerked on the United States Supreme Court.

Our approach to litigation is to work closely with our clients to develop a litigation strategy focused on their long-term business needs. We conduct early case assessments and partner closely with our clients throughout the litigation to discuss the case status and strategy. Our lawyers are experienced in the use of various litigation software programs and courtroom technology to manage cases and effectively present them to judges and juries.
