At Lapidus & Lapidus, we realize that businesses need counselors that will advise them on effective strategies in order to protect the businesses’ interests as well as evaluating the merits of claims raised by current or former employees.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  In business, the need for accomplished litigation counsel is a matter of “when” and not “if.”  Business disputes can involve a competitor’s misappropriation or copying of a product or trademark, as well as more routine collection disputes arising out of breaches of contract.  The attorneys at Lapidus & Lapidus have extensive experience handling a wide variety of the litigation-related challenges that modern businesses face.  We litigate conventional payment disputes involving breaches of contract, disputes between health care providers and payors, as well as complicated business torts arising out of fraud, breaches of fiduciary duties, and unfair competition.  We also handle labor and employment disputes, land use disputes, claims involving negligence, personal injury, and premises liability, as well as claims arising under various statutes including the Lanham Act, the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (“RICO”), the CAN-SPAM Act and related state laws.  From traditional litigation, trials and appeals in state and federal courts, to alternative resolution forums, including mediation and arbitration. Lapidus & Lapidus provides both vigorous representation of its clients’ positions, as well as practical advice regarding case evaluation and settlement strategy – because a client’s best interest sometimes does not include the risks and costs associated with time-consuming court actions.
