We Understand Wall Street’s Unique Litigation Needs
Wall Street is unlike any other business environment. It moves faster, it’s more competitive, and it’s vastly complex. At the Law Offices of David S. Rich, LLC, we have represented clients in both commercial and financial disputes for over two decades. As a result, we have a deep knowledge of how Manhattan businesses operate, interact, and evolve.
Our Commercial Litigation Practice
We represent corporate entities and individuals in business litigation and dispute resolution before state and federal courts. We also have a robust business arbitration practice. The best way to understand our approach to business law is to schedule a confidential evaluation with a skilled Wall Street commercial litigation attorney at the Law Offices of David S. Rich, LLC. We have substantial experience litigating, on behalf of companies and individuals, the following claims and many others:
Breach of Contract
We work with our clients to assess the validity of contracts, the extent of the breach, and the computation of their damages. A breach of contract involves the following several core elements:
- The parties formed a valid contract;
- Plaintiff performed its obligations pursuant to the agreement;
- Defendant failed to perform or materially breached the contract;
- Plaintiff suffered damages due to this breach.
Our careful analysis helps us craft robust legal arguments that protect both the business and corporate interests of our clients. Depending on your circumstances, you might be entitled to both compensatory and liquidated damages, rescission, or specific performance of the contract. Contact a Wall Street commercial litigation attorney at one of our offices for more information.
Business Torts
While most people associate tort law with personal injury claims, the law of business torts recognizes that corporate entities, no less than individuals, can suffer economic injuries. On Wall Street, reputation, intellectual property, trade secrets, and relationships are some of a business’ most valuable assets. When these are damaged by another entity, you may have a business tort claim.
A Wall Street commercial litigation attorney can prosecute or defend, on your or your company’s behalf, claims involving the following:
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Breach of an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing
- Civil RICO and racketeering claims
- Conversion
- Deceptive trade practices
- Fraud and misrepresentation
- Interference with employment relationships
- Tortious interference with a contract
- Trade disparagement
Contact the Law Offices of David S. Rich, LLC for both a personalized and confidential assessment of your circumstances and causes of action.
Bankruptcy Proceedings
Bankruptcy is a powerful legal tool that allows businesses to restructure as well as rebuild after financial difficulties. We guide insolvent clients through both business restructuring and bankruptcy proceedings. Our creative approach helps rebuild a business’ foundation and helps identify alternatives that might help you avoid a public bankruptcy proceeding.
Business Dissolution
Due to the nature of many business relationships, Wall Street business dissolutions can easily become hostile, complicated, and prolonged. At the Law Offices of David S. Rich, LLC, we represent privately-held companies, corporations, partnerships, and business owners with the delicate process of severing ties and closing up operations. We can help you identify the proper grounds for dissolution and build strategies that help expeditiously and efficiently end your business relationships. Contact a Wall Street commercial litigation attorney at our office for more information and a customized evaluation.
Business Divorce
When an owner or a partner needs to leave a business organization, it’s important to handle the matter as quickly, privately, and fairly as possible. Because business divorces typically involve numerous issues involving New York contract law, executive compensation, derivative suits, shareholder relationships, and business valuation, most organizations need guidance from an experienced Wall Street commercial litigation attorney. We work with our clients to craft creative solutions that protect the business’ operations, maintain order, and keep its reputation and relationships intact.
