SHK Law Attorneys provides litigation counsel to its clients to facilitate their business objectives in corporate deals, whether by enjoining transactions, ensuring they are consummated, or vindicating our clients’ rights when transactions fall apart or issues arise after a deal closes. In addition to our varied courtroom and arbitration experience, we just as often advise clients on strategies to avoid litigation or otherwise negotiate successful results short of a lawsuit, clients routinely consult us before or at the outset of a deal, either in anticipation of litigation or simply because they value our perspective, expertise, and experience. We are often asked to value IP assets and assess pending lawsuits. We regularly work side-by-side with clients’ transactional teams to develop their deal strategies.

Because we are one of the few top-tier firms that can be adverse to major financial institutions and money center banks, and we do not have a corporate transactional practice or “business conflicts”, we can take on a variety of clients and have litigated every side of the transaction table. We can assemble a team and make it to court the same afternoon. Our unparalleled reputation as a credible reliable law firm also ensures that our client’s adversaries know that we will go the distance to trial, if necessary, and win.
