Complex litigation, which often involves multiple parties in numerous related cases—often in different jurisdictions—requires a high degree of organization, planning, and coordination. At the same time, it requires a trial lawyer to think quickly and act decisively; responding to expedited motions, hearings where crucial rulings will be decided solely upon oral argument, or disputes over burdensome and intrusive discovery.
With nearly 25 years of litigation experience in trade secrets disputes, complex business and commercial litigation, and securities litigation, David Schwartz and his legal team at David H. Schwartz, Attorney at Law, have the capacity and skill to handle challenging cases.

Liability Insurance Coverage Issues – Often an insurance company will deny or refuse to acknowledge coverage for a particular claim and will refuse to provide a defense for an insured company or individual. David H. Schwartz can negotiate or litigate to obtain the insurance coverage and defense you are entitled to under your policy.
Allegations of securities fraud, disputes with the SEC, shareholder derivative actions, disagreements over shareholder agreements, proxy fights, and related issues impose a greater burden than other litigation. Your company's foundation is under attack. Your organization's value, stock price, and business goodwill are at risk, as are the reputations of your officers and directors. Attorney Schwartz deftly handles all types of securities disputes. He works to minimize exposure to regulatory action, disclosure to the press and public, and adverse stockholder actions, while keeping your long-term profitability at the forefront of every decision.
If your company maintains a proprietary process, method, program, recipe, procedure, or other practice that is not generally known in your industry, customers, or the public and which offers a competitive advantage, you need to protect it. Policing such trade secrets, however, is challenging and can lead to disputes. Vigorous enforcement of covenants not to compete, policies against disclosure, and documentation of the trade secret are the first steps. When a trade secret is disclosed or stolen, injunctions, alternative dispute resolution, and litigation may be in order. David Schwartz is an attorney who will work aggressively to protect your trade secrets using strategies geared toward expeditious resolution, maximizing recovery of business losses, and minimizing the possibility of further disclosure during litigation.
