What We Handle
We accept a small docket of high-impact matters where integrity is non-negotiable. A core strength is Delaware Court of Chancery litigation, widely regarded as the leading venue for business disputes. From fiduciary duty enforcement to shareholder fights to urgent injunctive relief, we know this court’s rules, rhythm, and expectations, where accuracy and credibility decide outcomes.
Our litigation focus includes:
- Breach of Contract
- Business Divorce & Partnership Breakups
- Shareholder & Derivative Litigation
- Books & Records Demands (8 Del. C. § 220)
- Fiduciary Duty Breaches
- Intra-Corporate Disputes
Disputes arising under federal and state securities laws
- Vendor & Supply Chain Conflicts
- Commercial Real Estate Litigation
Insurance coverage and indemnification disputes, including bad-faith insurance claims
- Trade Secret Misappropriation (6 Del. C. § 2001 et seq.)
- Commercial Judgment Enforcement Foreign Discovery
- Foreign Discovery Assistance under 28 U.S.C. § 1782
- Franchise and Licensing Disputes, including the New Jersey Franchise Practices Act
- Restrictive Covenant Enforcement (non-employment)
- Business Torts: including fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and tortious interference
- Technology and Software Contract Disputes
- Private Equity and Investment Fraud Matters
If your case involves integrity, strategy, and principle, we may be the right counsel.
That said, we are selective in who we represent and the types of cases we take. We do not typically represent:
- Companies seeking to enforce non-compete clauses against rank-and-file or non-executive employees
- Employers sued by their workers for discrimination, retaliation, or whistleblowing
- Companies looking for legal strategies to fight unionization
- Companies sued for consumer claims or personal injuries
- Companies or Individuals sued for sexual assault or related allegations
- Entities facing regulatory investigations, unless we believe the matter presents a genuinely unique and compelling public interest (e.g., being unfairly targeted due to political or protected conduct)
We are a mission-driven law firm serving Philadelphia clients who value integrity, accountability, and outcomes that matter beyond a single dispute. When your case aligns with that purpose, we bring elite litigation skill and ethical clarity in service of both your interests and the public good.
A Legal Offer No Other Firm Makes
We stand for excellence and real accountability. That is why we offer something almost no business litigation firm will put on the table:

We believe elite litigation counsel should feel transparent, not transactional, with pricing that is clear from the start and tied to real value. With us, you know exactly what you are paying and what you are getting.
- You pre-fund 15 hours of our time.
- Your funds stay in a separate client trust account.
- If our work or evaluation does not meet your expectations, you withdraw the funds with no questions asked.

No surprise invoices. No fine-print traps. No pressure tactics. Just precise lawyering.
Small Business Legal Support Program
We believe high-caliber legal counsel should be accessible to principled businesses, even when budgets are tight. Our Small Business Legal Support Program provides sliding-scale pricing with discounts up to 50 percent for qualifying clients in Philadelphia.
This program is typically available for businesses with:
- Less than $5 million in annual revenue or a non-profit
- No accredited investors or institutional investment
- Other compelling or extenuating financial circumstances
We evaluate every matter one at a time and we intentionally set aside part of our litigation calendar for small businesses in Philadelphia whose disputes align with our mission.

We are a faith-based, public benefit law firm. That means:
- We approach law as a calling, not a commodity.
- We pursue justice as a duty, not an escape route.
- We stand with the underdog when the facts and conscience support them.
- Your legal fees help fund our mission to provide legal services for the poor, the vulnerable, and others who cannot afford counsel, including our pro bono program.
Our faith calls us to speak truth, pursue justice, and practice humility, as reflected in Micah 6:8. You do not need to share our beliefs, but you can expect that we will not trade away integrity for convenience, leverage, or pressure.
Our lawyers are educated at elite institutions, proven in real courtroom conflict, and committed to excellence that shows up in the details.

Common Questions About Business Litigation
What does a business litigation attorney do?
We handle disputes involving contracts, partners, fiduciary duties, and commercial relationships, with a focus on strategic wins, ethical decision-making, and efficient execution.
Can I sue my business partner in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Many business partner and shareholder disputes can be filed in Pennsylvania, but the correct forum often depends on where the entity is legally formed and what the governing agreements say. Because many Pennsylvania-based companies are Delaware entities, the dispute may need to proceed in Delaware. We advise based on your structure, documents, and facts.
How much does a business lawsuit cost?
We begin with a refundable 15 hour retainer at $695 per hour. You receive a strategy memo and a written legal roadmap. If you are not satisfied, we return your funds or waive fees entirely with no surprise billing.
Real Talk: Is This the Right Move?
Don’t blow the whistle because you’re angry.
Blow it because you can’t live with the lie.
If you’ve already spoken up and they came for you—you’re exactly why we exist.
In addition to our multi-lawyer team, we proudly partner with the nationwide law firm Wade Kilpela Slade to ensure False Claims Act cases are staffed with the depth they demand.
