Mandell Menkes attorneys have litigated disputes between businesses in federal and state courts across the country in areas such as Information Technology Litigation, Class Action Defense and Director's and Officer's Liability. We have also handled a broad range of other disputes. Our attorneys have represented financial institutions, media companies, computer hardware and software manufacturers, insurance companies and other businesses, ranging from entrepreneurial start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. In commercial cases, we have served both plaintiffs and defendants. We have represented companies in every type of dispute that typically arises in the course of business, including matters arising under real estate purchase agreements and commercial leases, loan agreements, computer sale and lease agreements, equipment leases, computer software design agreements, licensing agreements, construction contracts and service agreements. Mandell Menkes litigators have extensive experience with prosecuting and defending against business torts, such as tortious interference with contracts, unfair competition and negligent employment. We are also regularly involved in disputes concerning antitrust, lender liability claims, claims of fraud and deceptive business practices, breaches of confidentiality and defamation. We prosecute and defend commercial suits that seek damages for breach of contract, specific performance of contractual obligations, injunctive relief, and extra-contractual damages under a variety of common law and statutory theories.

For our insurance company clients, we also handle coverage and regulatory matters and disputes and litigation with other insurers over allegedly improper replacement activities and use of customer lists and other trade secrets.
