Commercial Litigation
Lippitt O’Keefe, PLLC has a team of experienced attorneys who are devoted to serving businesses. Commercial litigation involves a wide range of issues that require in-depth knowledge and a firm grasp of details.
Complex Commercial & Business Litigation
Complex commercial litigation differs from ordinary commercial litigation, and what makes litigation complex can vary. Quite often, a transaction that involves a large number of documents is considered complex. Business deals that encompass multiple jurisdictions meet the definition of complex. A transaction that involves more than two parties is more complex than the norm.

Limited Liability Company & Corporate Litigation
Shareholder and member disputes are common and can occur for a myriad of reasons. Some of the most common reasons are financial and operational disputes. Often, the governing documents of a company do not sufficiently address the dispute at hand. We work with our clients to negotiate resolutions to issues amongst members and shareholders in the hopes to avoid litigation. If pre-litigation negotiations fail and litigation is necessary, we will help you take the steps to safeguard the interests of ownership while still allowing the day-to-day operations of the business to function smoothly.

Real Estate Litigation
Commercial real estate is different than its residential counterpart. The transactions are often much larger than what’s at stake in the purchase and sale of a residential property. Paperwork can come in much greater volume. Moreover, what is planned for commercial real estate often requires a detailed knowledge of zoning laws and other applicable municipal regulations.
It’s important that anyone investing in commercial real estate have legal counsel who is there solely to advocate for their client. Commercial realtors often do excellent work, but their interest is bringing two parties together to close a deal. A commercial lawyer, on the other hand, is there to advise you if and when it’s time to walk away.

Supplier Disputes
The smooth functioning of a supply chain is essential to the success of a business. When a dispute arises between the business and a supplier, a seasoned attorney can lead the way in seeking to settle the matter through negotiation or mediation. A lawyer who fights diligently for the client won’t shy away from the more confrontational methods of arbitration and litigation if it’s the only way to secure the client’s best interests.
