Business Transaction & Litigation

        Our Business litigation and transactions practice group can assist clients in complex business transactions. We are actively involved in understanding the business, its obligations and liabilities, and crafting the agreements for tax efficiency. By considering tax and legal consequences on the front end of the transaction, we help clients avoid future conflicts with the other parties involved. 

        We also handle all related areas such as corporate governance, officer and director fiduciary duties, minority shareholder rights, employment and non-compete agreements, deferred payments, collateralized debt obligation, and securities issues affecting transfers of registered and unregistered stock.

        Veatch Carlson's business litigation attorneys handle a wide variety of business and corporate litigation matters, ranging from simple contract disputes to securities class-action defense and other complex, multi-party commercial disputes. We have successfully represented both national and international corporations in lengthy jury trials involving the full spectrum of tort and contract theories. Our litigation attorneys also counsel clients regarding strategies for avoiding liability in these areas. In addition, we are experienced in handling:

• Arbitration, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution
• Creditors' claims in bankruptcy and representation of debtors-in-possession
• Antitrust litigation, terminated dealer cases, and copyright infringement cases
• Federal False Claims Act matters
• Unfair competition claims, trademark and franchise disputes
• Computer contract and trade libel disputes
