Commercial Litigation Practice

Adam’s litigation practice focuses on contract and commercial disputes; trade secret and restrictive covenant litigation; enforcing and protecting shareholder rights; real estate and estate-related litigation; and professional liability defense. He has been appointed by state and federal court judges to the positions of Provisional Director, Discovery Master, Receiver and Guardian.

Business Counseling
