Business & Commercial Litigation

CM Law’s Litigation & Dispute Resolution team represents businesses and executives in complex commercial disputes across the United States. Our attorneys bring decades of experience from leading Am Law firms, in-house legal departments, and senior business advisory roles, allowing us to approach disputes with both legal precision and practical business judgment.

We handle a broad range of commercial litigation matters in state and federal courts, as well as in arbitration and mediation proceedings. Our experience includes breach of contract claims, business torts, fiduciary duty disputes, franchise and distribution conflicts, financial and restructuring-related litigation, and regulatory and governance disputes. We represent clients ranging from emerging companies to Fortune 500 enterprises across diverse industries. 

CM Law operates through a partner-only model that provides clients with direct access to experienced counsel, efficient staffing, and flexible service arrangements. We focus on resolving disputes in the manner that best advances our clients’ objectives—whether through aggressive trial advocacy, strategic motion practice, arbitration, mediation, or negotiated resolution. 

In addition to representing clients in litigation and arbitration, several firm partners also serve as mediators and arbitrators in leading forums, including the AAA and FINRA, providing valuable perspective in evaluating and resolving complex disputes.
