Pre-Litigation Dispute Resolution
When faced with complex litigation or anticipated business disputes, clients rely on Fortif to develop and execute smart strategies. Whether the goal is to cut off litigation before it starts or to aggressively secure a favorable judgment at trial and take the case through the court of appeals, we have the skills necessary to achieve success.
Our firm has lawyers who spent their formative years at large regional law firms in the Southeast, former federal judicial law clerks, and administrative law judges. This depth of experience allows us to provide seasoned and efficient counsel about how cases are decided and, most importantly, won.
Examples
- We have obtained favorable outcomes in business litigation in Alabama state courts, as well as federal courts around the country, and we have successfully taken many of those cases through the courts of appeals. We have helped clients win trial court judgments in noncompetition cases in Alabama and federal courts, appellate opinions in health care disputes and regulatory actions at the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals and the Alabama Supreme Court, and an appellate opinion in a high-stakes financial services matter at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
- We also regularly assist professionals and businesses in Alabama faced with pre-litigation disputes raised by employees, partners, competitors, vendors, contract parties, and governmental agencies. Our clients often find that a private and confidential resolution before litigation ever starts is the ideal outcome.
