Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Overview

No one welcomes litigation. It should be a last-resort process for resolving conflict. If an attorney can help you resolve a problem outside the courtroom, so much the better. Karr Tuttle Campbell attorneys are highly skilled at resolving differences through regulatory proceedings, mediations and other dispute-resolution protocols. However, if a conflict is destined for court, you need a seasoned advocate for your cause. You can have confidence in finding such an advocate among our attorneys.

Client Centered

Recognizing that each case is unique, Karr Tuttle Campbell attorneys approach conflict resolution in terms of your goals, not those of the attorney. From “bet-the-company” matters to disagreements on a smaller scale, our primary order of business is to help you understand the risks, opportunities, and costs inherent in the dispute, so that you can make informed decisions throughout the process.  We understand the vital importance of minimizing disruption to our clients’ commercial operations and goals, of preserving valuable business relationships, and of preventing any damage to a company’s reputation. Our lawyers provide this service in litigation, administrative proceedings, arbitrations, mediations, and other legal forums throughout the region and across a broad spectrum of substantive areas and industries.  No matter the scope or type of case, our attorneys provide the personal attention required to help clients resolve legal issues in the most positive and productive manner possible.
