Commercial Litigation
Targeting Favorable Resolution of Your Connecticut Business Dispute
Our established law firm, led by Stamford native and 30-year attorney Ellery E. Plotkin, is well equipped to consult with you and work to protect your interests in matters of commercial litigation, such as contract, partnership, landlord-tenant and payment disputes. We serve clients throughout Fairfield and New Haven counties.
We recognize that, if you run a small business, the last thing you may want to spend time on is preparing to file or defend a lawsuit. However, some disputes are simply too legally complex, adversarial or financially significant to handle on your own. Contact us to explain your situation, gain clarity on your legal rights and discuss options ranging from negotiation of an agreement to pursuit of commercial litigation.
Contract and Partnership Disputes — Commercial Litigation Involving Property or Debts
Mr. Plotkin has clear strengths in business law, consumer bankruptcy, real estate law, commercial bankruptcy and creditors' rights — fields requiring analytical prowess and financial savvy. These same assets can work to your advantage as you decide how to deal with situations including:
- Breach-of-contract disputes
- Business partnership disputes
- Commercial property boundary disputes
- Landlord-tenant disputes involving lease terms or unmet financial obligations
Personal Service, Active Communication and Timely Action on Your Behalf
Our attorneys consistently strive to provide business owners and shareholders with:
- Close, personal contact with time for you to tell your whole story and explain your goals
- Two-way communication — including prompt return of your calls — producing real confidence that your lawyer understands your situation and is working in your best interests
- Honest, up-front information about your choices, their consequences, and steps you can take to overcome adversity
- Measured, assertive and well-timed legal action
Whether you need to pursue a claim against someone else or foresee a need for defense of your rights in commercial litigation, we encourage you to contact us for counsel informed by decades of service to Connecticut small businesses. Mr. Plotkin has experience in high-stakes negotiation and at trial.
