Litigation

With expert trial and appellate attorneys in many areas of law, Wendel Rosen handles a wide variety of civil litigation matters on behalf of clients. When negotiations break down, contracts are breached, or a dispute cannot be otherwise resolved, the attorneys of the firm's litigation group help clients to devise a well-thought-out strategy for putting an end to the conflict. Working with clients, litigation attorneys ensure that the resolution strategy our clients undertake is one that fits with their overall business objectives. We weigh the pros and cons, lay out possible outcomes, and advise clients based on our understanding of their business priorities, industry conditions and risk tolerance.

Sometimes arbitration or mediation is the first or best place to begin the dispute resolution process. Our attorneys help clients determine if one of these methods is right for their situation and then, if so, we advise them through the process. When alternative forms of dispute resolution fail or are undesirable, sometimes taking a matter to trial is the only option. When that is the case, clients know they can count on an experienced team of attorneys and paraprofessionals.

Firm attorneys have handled trial and appellate matters from local jurisdictions through the United States Supreme Court, including all levels of appellate courts in California. Many of our attorneys have been retained as consultants and expert witnesses in other cases. Others have served as judges pro tem, mediators or arbitrators.
