Business Litigation and Arbitration
SWF’s litigation and dispute resolution attorneys have the skill, experience and contacts to assist clients with litigation matters nationwide. Our litigation teams have successfully tried countless jury and non-jury cases around the United States and have effectively argued numerous cases in various federal and state appellate courts throughout the United States.

Our litigators handle a variety of business-related disputes in nearly every area of the law impacting your daily activities. Our cost conscious and aggressive style and innovative approach to real world problems distinguishes SWF from other firms.

While we stand ready to litigate, SWF understands the benefits of alternative dispute resolution. Our lawyers routinely participate in mediation and arbitration proceedings and encourage clients to find constructive ways to resolve disagreements without resort to costly and time-consuming litigation. Our primary focus and ultimate goal is to obtain the best and most cost effective result for the client.

We provide clients the creative, hard working legal team equipped to deal efficiently, effectively and responsively with even the most thorny legal problems. Our litigation attorneys can draw on the vast experience of our non-litigation attorneys in the areas of real estate, eminent domain and land use, finance, taxation and corporate law to provide the best advise and representation possible. Access to experienced attorneys in these specialized areas of the law enables us to provide representation comparable to larger firms. However, SWF remains conscious of litigation costs. We therefore consistently seek strategies yielding the best possible results out of our practical and cost effective tactics.
