Commercial Litigation Lawyer
Equal Justice Solutions is a faith-driven law firm for ethical companies, investors, founders, whistleblowers, the seriously harmed, and the voiceless. We bring Big Law precision to high-stakes matters—without the moral compromise, bloat, or fake billing.
We Serve Clients with Consequence. Not Complaints.
At Equal Justice Solutions, we represent founders pushed out, shareholders locked out, investors misled, and businesses cheated.
We are a faith-driven litigation firm. We take cases where something real is at stake—ownership, accountability, or survival.
We don’t file lawsuits to make a point or settle scores. We don’t take every case. We litigate with care, not impulse.
WHAT WE DO AT EQUAL JUSTICE SOLUTIONS
We Are Commercial Litigation Lawyers Serving Clients with Consequence. Not Complaints.
We represent clients in commercial litigation when the case involves serious issues—financially, legally, or morally. We do not take every case. We work with clients whose disputes involve real harm, real consequences, and real opportunities for resolution or reform.
We are deliberate in our approach. Each case is evaluated carefully. If we accept representation, your matter will typically be staffed by two to three experienced attorneys—not passed off to junior lawyers or outsourced teams. We maintain a low-volume, high-attention model to ensure quality and focus.
Types of Commercial Litigation We Handle
We represent founders, shareholders, executives, and investors in serious business disputes where legal action is necessary to protect ownership, enforce accountability, or recover substantial losses. Representative matters include:
We do not take cases representing companies involving personal employment disputes, consumer matters, or any representation that conflicts with our mission or values.
Our Approach to Commercial Litigation
Deliberate. Strategic. Trial-Ready Business Litigation Lawyers.
Every commercial litigation client begins with a written strategy. We assess your claims or defenses, the likely costs and timelines, and whether litigation is the right path forward. We equip you with the information needed to decide whether to settle, proceed, or disengage.
If litigation is necessary, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. From the outset, we build the factual record, develop legal theories, identify pressure points, and structure discovery accordingly. This approach ensures that our clients are not reacting—but leading.
We do not believe in filing lawsuits simply to create leverage or build a file. We litigate when the facts, the law, and the situation call for it—and we do so with clarity, discipline, and focus.
Transparent, Honest Pricing
Many firms don’t publish their rates. We do.
At Equal Justice Solutions, our standard hourly rate is $695/hour—well below what some firms charge ($1,200 to $1,500 per hour) for comparable work. Courts in jurisdictions like Delaware have recognized that rates approaching $900/hour are reasonable for complex commercial matters. We work to deliver that level of advocacy with transparency, restraint, and stewardship.
We’re not the cheapest firm, and we’re not trying to be. We aim to provide high-quality legal work with integrity and discipline—without the excess or markup that often burdens clients in serious disputes.
In some regions, we offer discounted rates:
New York clients
$595
/hour
Suburban Pennsylvania
clients
$495-$595
/hour
We also offer structured, limited-scope engagements—like 30-hour or 75-hour packages—to help clients make informed decisions before committing to full-scale litigation.
30-Hour Strategic Litigation Assessment
Rate:
Billed at $695/hour
capped at 30 hours (unused time held in trust)
Total Estimate:
$20,850 or less
Purpose:
To give you what most firms withhold—clarity, before commitment.
For founders, executives, shareholders, and businesses evaluating whether to litigate
Before you file suit—or decide how to respond to a serious legal threat—you need clarity. Not vague advice. Not pressure. Just disciplined analysis and a clear strategy.
Our 30-Hour Strategic Litigation Assessment is a limited-scope engagement designed to give you the information you need to make a reasoned, cost-conscious, and strategic decision. It is not a sales pitch disguised as a consultation. It’s legal work, structured for discernment.
What’s Included:
- Identification and framing of viable legal claims or defenses
- Analysis of likely counterclaims and procedural risks
- Venue and jurisdiction strategy (e.g., state, federal, Chancery)
- Risk and exposure assessment: damages, reputational harm, injunctive risk
- Estimated costs and timelines across litigation phases
- Evaluation of settlement posture, trial posture, and strategic alternatives
- Written litigation roadmap, tailored to your matter, delivered within 14–21 business days
75-Hour Quick Defense Package
Rate:
Billed at $695/hour
or hourly discount, typically completed within 75 hours
Purpose:
Provides structured, defensible litigation response without committing to a full-scale defense prematurely
For companies that have just been sued and need immediate, structured defense
This engagement offers tactical legal support during the critical first phase of a lawsuit. It is designed for defendants who need clarity, protection, and early filings—without making long-term commitments before evaluating the risk.
What’s Included:
- Initial case intake and liability assessment
- Exposure and reputational risk evaluation
- Recommendation on early settlement or litigation posture
- Drafting and filing of the initial Answer and Motion to Dismiss (if appropriate)
- Preparation for Rule 16 or other early case management conferences
- Discovery strategy and early protective motion planning
- Clear guidance on next steps beyond the initial phase
The Small Business Program
We don’t offer this program because we’re slow. We offer it because we’re Christian.
Rooted in Catholic social teaching and our commitment to justice, the Small Business Program exists to serve values-aligned businesses with serious legal claims that might otherwise be priced out of high-quality advocacy. We believe access to the legal system should not depend solely on the size of a company’s legal budget.
This is not charity, and it’s not cut-rate work. It’s a structured, disciplined engagement model that preserves quality while honoring the realities small businesses face.
The program may include:
- Substantial reductions in hourly rates—sometimes up to 70% off our standard rate
- Capped initial phases to control cost and reduce risk
- Transparent fee structures at every stage
- Continued representation only if litigation remains viable and proportionate
- Exploration of hybrid fee arrangements (e.g., reduced hourly rates with success fees)
We evaluate eligibility based on mission alignment, financial capacity, and the seriousness of the legal issue—not on volume or ease.
If you’re a small business facing a serious dispute, and you need clarity before committing resources, we invite you to reach out.
We Stand Behind Our Work
Deliberate. Strategic. Trial-Ready Business Litigation Lawyers.
We are confident in the value this assessment provides. If you complete the process and believe it failed to deliver meaningful legal insight or a clear strategic path forward, we will refund the full fee—subject to our terms and your engagement letter.
This is not a marketing tactic. It reflects how seriously we take your trust—and our responsibility to use the law wisely.
Our Mission
At Equal Justice Solutions, we are commercial litigation lawyers guided by faith and grounded in principle.
As a Christian law firm rooted in Catholic social teaching, we take seriously our responsibility as fiduciaries, advocates, and counselors—especially in high-stakes business disputes. While our mission is rooted in faith, we serve clients of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities with the same care, dignity, and professionalism.
We believe in:
- Dignity in client relationships
- Stewardship over legal resources
- Truthfulness in litigation
- Justice pursued with discipline and care
We do not file lawsuits to posture or pressure. We do not inflate cases to generate fees. We give honest advice and pursue lawful remedies only when the facts, the law, and the mission justify it.
Commercial litigation is not just a legal process—it is often a moment of moral and strategic consequence. We approach it accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What types of cases do you handle?
We represent clients in a range of legal matters with a focus on justice, accountability, and individual rights. Each service page describes the specific areas of law we practice. Contact us if you’re unsure whether your situation fits one of our practice areas.
2. How do I know if I have a valid legal claim?
A valid legal claim typically involves evidence that someone’s rights were violated under applicable laws. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your situation, review relevant facts and documents, and advise whether your case meets legal standards for action.
3. Do I need to pay for an initial consultation?
For many of our services, we offer a free or confidential initial consultation so we can understand your situation and explain your options before any fee agreement. If there are fees associated with the consultation, we’ll disclose that upfront.
4. What should I bring to my first meeting with an attorney?
Bring any relevant documents, correspondence, evidence, or notes related to your situation. These materials help us understand your issue and provide more accurate legal guidance.
5. How are legal fees structured?
Our fee structures vary by service and case type. Some matters are handled on a contingency basis (you pay only if we recover compensation), others on hourly or hybrid arrangements. We’ll explain our fee agreement before you decide to retain us.
6. How long will my case take?
Every case is different. Some open and resolve quickly; others require extensive investigation, filings, and negotiations. We’ll provide a realistic timeline based on the specifics of your situation.
7. Will my conversations with the attorney be confidential?
Yes. Attorney-client communications are generally privileged and protected. We only share information as required by law or with your explicit permission.
8. Do you handle cases in specialized courts like the Delaware Court of Chancery?
Yes. Equal Justice Solutions has deep experience handling commercial litigation in specialized forums such as the Delaware Court of Chancery and related venues, where complex corporate and fiduciary disputes often arise.
9. How does the fee structure typically work for commercial litigation matters?
Commercial litigation matters are usually handled through transparent hourly arrangements rather than pure contingency fees due to the complexity and bespoke nature of these cases. The firm prioritizes clarity and may offer structured options that outline costs and strategy upfront.
10. What is commercial litigation?
The purpose of litigation is singular. It seeks a judgment. A judgment is a court order that requires the other party to act, stop acting, or pay what is owed. When a party refuses to comply, you return to the court and invoke the power of the state through asset seizures, fines, garnishments, or contempt. That is the function of litigation. It produces an enforceable judgment and the means to carry it out.
11. Who does a commercial litigation lawyer represent?
A commercial litigation lawyer represents clients who seek a legal remedy for a business dispute. That usually involves companies, owners, partners, or individuals engaged in commercial relationships who need a court to decide rights, enforce contracts, stop misconduct, or recover losses. Our work is focused on evidence, law, and the practical outcome that a judgment can deliver.
12. Who does a commercial litigation lawyer NOT represent?
At Equal Justice Solutions, our team of commercial litigation lawyers does NOT represent clients who want the legal system to meet non-legal needs.
- It is not personal validation.
- It’s not an ego battle.
- It’s not to ‘stick it to’ a former partner.
It’s to get you what the law entitles you–money, shares, ownership, a buyout or other entitlement. Nothing more, nothing less.
13. Is a commercial litigation lawyer right for me?
It depends on what you need and what you expect the law to deliver. If you are considering commercial litigation, you must approach the decision with a clear mind and a realistic understanding of what litigation can achieve. A lawsuit resolves legal rights and obligations.
It does not repair emotions or deliver a sweeping sense of cosmic justice. When expectations drift into that territory, disappointment follows. In our experience, the business disputes that endure for years often share one feature: someone’s ego has taken control of the decision-making.
A commercial litigation lawyer is right for you when you seek a legal remedy, understand the limits of the process, and are prepared to make decisions grounded in reason rather than emotion.
14. When is commercial litigation worth it?
Claims under $100,000: These claims are seldom worth pursuing unless the matter involves a clean breach of contract with a solvent defendant and no credible defenses. Spending $100,000 to recover the same amount produces a break-even result before accounting for stress, delay, and uncertainty. While we do offer a Small Business Program to help narrow that gap, even then, most sub-six-figure disputes are better treated as a loss.
Claims over $1,000,000: These claims are almost always worth pursuing. Even if litigation costs reach $400,000 to $500,000 over two years, the return is sound, and the action often protects the business or sets a needed standard within the industry.
Claims Between $100,000 and $1,000,000: This range is the gray zone. The decision turns on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the strength of the expected defenses, the opponent’s ability to satisfy a judgment, the likelihood of success, and the business’s risk tolerance.
15. How much does a commercial litigation lawyer cost?
Our standard rate at Equal Justice Solutions is $695 per hour. That is modest compared to many top firms, especially in places like New York and throughout Delaware, where hourly rates reach $1,200 to $1,500. Even Delaware courts have stated that $900 per hour is reasonable for commercial litigation attorneys handling significant commercial disputes.
The truth is, complex commercial litigation is labor-intensive. Here is a rough breakdown of how the work typically unfolds:
100 to 200 hours to get past the pleadings (motion to dismiss, etc.)
100 to 200 hours for document discovery
200+ hours for depositions
200 to 400 hours for trial prep
400+ hours for the trial itself
That’s roughly 1,000 hours. Cases involving business torts or other fact-heavy claims often fall at the higher end of this range. If a case requires multiple attorneys, the numbers rise accordingly.
16. How long will my case take with law firms that handle disputes of this kind?
The timeline depends on the facts, the number of witnesses, the scope of the documents, and the court’s schedule. Cases involving complex business litigation or securities litigation tend to move more slowly because they require detailed review and careful discovery. If the matter reaches trial, our experienced trial lawyers guide the case through state and federal courts until a judgment is entered. It can often take several years.
17. Why will your law firm not take a commercial case on pure contingency in federal courts?
At Equal Justice Solutions, we do not take commercial cases on pure contingency because doing so creates an unstable and unhealthy structure for both lawyer and client. Commercial litigation is unpredictable, fact-intensive, and wholly dependent on evidence, witnesses, discovery, and the conduct of the parties over months or years. When we front all time, staff hours, filings, and expert costs with no contribution from the client, we assume a financial risk that no responsible commercial litigators should carry. If the defendant cannot pay, appeals, or disappears, the loss is ours alone.
Our duty is to pursue justice with honest scales, and that requires a fee structure that supports steady, responsible work, rather than placing the entire financial risk of a business dispute on our firm alone.
