Commercial Litigation Lawyer in Brooklyn
Equal Justice Solutions supports clients throughout Brooklyn by providing legal guidance that combines exceptional expertise with a firm commitment to ethical standards. Our clients include businesses that prioritise responsible conduct, investors and entrepreneurs who value principled decision-making, whistleblowers acting in good faith to bring forward important concerns, and individuals who have faced meaningful injustice or inadequate representation in prior legal matters. Our firm mirrors the discipline, thorough preparation, and broad legal knowledge commonly found in large law firms, while maintaining a strong emphasis on ethical integrity, managing costs responsibly, and ensuring that all billing remains transparent and free from artificial or misleading practices.
We Serve Clients in Brooklyn 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 provide commercial litigation services for matters with serious stakes, whether financial, legal, or ethical. We are highly selective in the cases we take on, focusing on clients who face real harm, significant consequences, or opportunities for authentic resolution or reform. Our work is designed to produce meaningful impact where it is needed most.
Our representation approach is deliberate and focused. Usually, two to three senior attorneys manage each case directly, rather than assigning work to junior associates or external counsel. By limiting the number of active cases, we ensure every client receives dedicated attention, detailed strategic planning, and advocacy that is precise and of the highest quality.
Types of Commercial Litigation We Handle in Brooklyn
We represent clients across Brooklyn, including founders, shareholders, executives, and investors who are engaged in high-stakes business disputes that demand experienced legal guidance. Our priority is to protect ownership interests, hold parties accountable for wrongdoing or breaches, and work to recover significant financial losses.
The matters we handle include:
Our Approach to Commercial Litigation in Brooklyn
Deliberate. Strategic. Trial-Ready Business Litigation Lawyers
Clients in Brooklyn benefit from a commercial litigation approach that begins with a clearly structured and well-documented written strategy. We conduct a detailed review of your claims or defences, evaluate anticipated costs and timelines, and determine whether litigation is the most effective path forward. Our objective is to ensure that clients have the information necessary to decide whether to pursue settlement, move forward with litigation, or disengage from the matter.
When litigation is required, each case is prepared from the beginning with the expectation that it may be presented before a judge or jury. We gather all relevant facts, develop a comprehensive legal strategy, identify areas of strategic leverage, and organise discovery to support the strongest possible position. This method ensures that clients remain proactive in managing their cases rather than reacting to developments.
We do not pursue litigation solely to create leverage or increase the number of cases we manage. Legal action is taken only when the facts, applicable law, and overall circumstances justify that decision. Our work is guided by thoughtful strategy, disciplined execution, and a consistent focus on advancing and protecting our clients’ interests.

The Small Business Program
The reason for offering this program is not related to speed. It stems from our Christian values and the guiding principles that shape how we assist and advocate for clients.
The intent behind this program is not related to speed or expediency. It originates from our Christian values and the ethical principles that guide our legal practice and advocacy.
Guided by Catholic social teaching and a commitment to justice, the Small Business Program exists to assist companies whose principles mirror our own, particularly those facing substantial legal challenges that could otherwise make premium representation inaccessible. We operate under the belief that access to justice should not depend solely on the size of a business’s legal budget.
This initiative is not charity, nor does it imply reduced or substandard services. It represents a carefully structured and disciplined approach to engagement that maintains the highest quality of representation while meeting the practical realities of small business clients.
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 determine eligibility based on how closely a business aligns with our mission, its financial capacity, and the seriousness of the legal matter, rather than the volume of matters or the perceived simplicity of a particular case.
For small businesses in Lancaster dealing with a critical dispute and seeking insight before allocating time and financial resources, we welcome you to reach out to our team for careful, guided support.
We Stand Behind Our Work
We are confident in the significant benefit this assessment delivers. If, at its conclusion, you feel it did not offer meaningful guidance or a defined plan of action, we will provide a full refund in alignment with the provisions of your engagement letter.
This promise is not intended for promotional purposes. It demonstrates our firm commitment to client trust and our obligation to exercise legal resources responsibly, ethically, and with careful judgement.
Our Mission
Equal Justice Solutions provides commercial litigation services anchored in faith and a resolute commitment to ethical principles.
As a Christian law firm informed by Catholic social teaching, we fulfill our responsibilities as counselors, fiduciaries, and advocates with deliberate care, especially in complex business disputes. Though our mission is faith-driven, we welcome clients from all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities, ensuring professional standards, respect, and consistent attention to detail throughout every matter.
We believe in:
- Dignity in client relationships
- Stewardship over legal resources
- Truthfulness in litigation
- Justice pursued with discipline and care
Our firm does not file cases merely to influence others or create financial gain. We do not overstate legal issues for profit. Instead, we focus on offering straightforward, ethical guidance and pursuing remedies only when justified by the facts, the law, and our moral principles.
Commercial disputes often present defining moments with both strategic and ethical importance. In Brooklyn, we manage these matters with thoughtful consideration, careful planning, and judicious assessment to ensure that outcomes reflect both integrity and legal accuracy.

13. When is commercial litigation worth it?
Claims under $100,000: Legal disputes involving amounts below one hundred thousand dollars are frequently not financially practical unless the circumstances clearly demonstrate a contractual breach by a solvent party with no credible defenses. The time, effort, and unpredictability of litigation can often consume the potential recovery, producing a result that is essentially break-even. While programs such as the Small Business Program may help narrow this gap, most matters under this threshold are typically best considered a standard business loss rather than a litigation priority.
Claims over $1,000,000: Disputes exceeding one million dollars almost always warrant legal action. Even if legal costs reach four hundred to five hundred thousand dollars over the course of two years, the potential financial return generally remains significant. Beyond the monetary value, pursuing such cases serves to protect business interests, reinforce contractual expectations, and may establish important industry standards.
Claims Between $100,000 and $1,000,000: Cases that fall between one hundred thousand and one million dollars require more nuanced consideration. Factors such as case complexity, the opponent’s likely defenses, their financial ability to satisfy a judgment, probability of success, and the business’s appetite for risk must all be weighed carefully before deciding whether to proceed.
14. How much does a commercial litigation lawyer cost?
Equal Justice Solutions applies a standard hourly rate of $695, which is modest when compared with fees charged by leading law firms in Brooklyn. Similar commercial litigation services in the area frequently range from $1,200 to $1,500 per hour.
Given that commercial litigation demands careful attention and significant time, the following section outlines the typical phases and the level of effort such cases generally require.
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
Handling these cases in practice requires an estimated 1,000 hours of legal work. Disputes that involve business torts or other highly detailed and complex factual scenarios tend to require the most extensive attention, placing them at the higher end of this estimate. When multiple attorneys are involved, the total hours increase proportionally to reflect the additional coordination, judgment, and effort required to manage the case successfully.
15. How long will my case take with law firms that handle disputes of this kind?
16. Why will your law firm not take a commercial case on pure contingency in federal courts?
Equal Justice Solutions does not accept commercial litigation cases on a strict contingency basis because this type of arrangement is unstable and can be harmful to both clients and attorneys. Business disputes of considerable complexity often involve unpredictable developments and rely on evidence, witness cooperation, discovery, and the conduct of all parties over months or even years. When our firm advances all costs for time, staffing, filing, and expert involvement without client contribution, the financial exposure can become significant and difficult to manage. Should the opposing party be unable to pay, appeals occur, or the other side becomes unreachable, our firm would assume the entire loss.
Our obligation is to pursue justice with integrity and careful judgment. A fee structure that supports consistent, disciplined legal work ensures that we can fulfill this obligation without assuming all financial risk on behalf of the client.
