The Commercial Litigation Team at Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer has a nationwide reputation for handling complex litigation. Our approach to commercial litigation is always to protect the client's overall business interests. There are occasions when it may make better business sense to settle a claim than run the risk of adverse publicity that could result from a public trial. Conversely, there are times when it makes better business sense to defend a small claim to avoid setting a precedent and inviting additional claims.

Additionally, there may be a faster, more economical way to resolve a dispute such as by arbitration or mediation or other forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). We are experienced in such alternative dispute procedures and our attorneys have represented clients in ADR matters and served as American Arbitration Association arbitrators and as mediators.

Each case is carefully considered on its merits by an experienced commercial litigator. The resulting advice reflects our considerable experience in the field of litigation.
