Business Litigation
"The trend of many law firms today is to claim expertise in every new area of law. We follow a different course. We know our niche, and we prepare our client's case as if it were going to trial tomorrow."
~John P. Kelly

Complex Business Tort Litigation
The most expanding area of business litigation since the late 1970's has been in the business tort and complex business litigation arena, such as lawsuits involving:
- Antitrust litigation, including non-compete claims by employers
- Corporate litigation and shareholder derivative claims
- Intellectual Property, trade secrets, false advertising, and unfair competition claims
- Class action litigation involving products liability and consumer claims
- Qui tem and "Whistle Blower" claims
- Tortious interference claims Wrongful discharge and Title VII discrimination claims
These difficult and technical areas of litigation require experienced trial lawyers who have the resources and proven abilities to present complex issues effectively in front of juries. The Kelly Law Firm has demonstrated success in both state and federal courts in such complex business litigation.
We have successfully represented both businesses and their constituents, whether as plaintiffs or defendants, in a wide range of business and commercial matters. Whether we litigate to protect our client's proprietary interests or defend them against catastrophic claims, our clients know that our straight-forward analysis of their legal problems provides the necessary information to make an informed business decision on whether to proceed to trial. If going to trial is required, however, our clients also know that our extensive trial experience provides a winning edge. We utilize state-of-the-art resources in litigation and at trial, including computerized legal research, deposition summation and indexing, document scanning, organization and retrieval, and audio-visual presentations at trial.
