At Sherrard, German & Kelly, our Litigation Services Group is comprised of a dedicated group of seasoned lawyers with diverse experience in trial work as well as in alternate dispute resolution. Our litigators are aggressive and work to win. But we never lose sight of the bottom line and understand that the object of litigation is to achieve a successful business outcome for the client. Toward that end, we collaborate with our clients so that we can employ a strategic and cost-effective approach to dispute resolution. We know when more is not better and will counsel our clients toward the most economical approach that will achieve their needs.
Essential to a strategic, cost-effective and business-savvy approach to litigation is our ability to master the facts of each case, including more subtle issues of business strategy, and identify and analyze the legal issues involved. In many cases, this analysis allows clients to take strategic positions that allow them to resolve litigation without trial, or even resolve disputes without resort to litigation. However, where litigation becomes necessary, we take a back seat to no one in our ability to use our command of the facts and the law to drive the litigation and trial process towards a successful judicial outcome. Our litigators move forcefully – whether we represent a plaintiff or a defendant – to take the upper hand in a dispute and move it forward swiftly, decisively and effectively.
When litigation becomes necessary or unavoidable, clients need attorneys who never lose sight of the business needs of the client and operate at all times with those needs, and not their own, as their highest priority. Whether that involves a negotiated resolution or judicial resolution, the Litigation Services Group of Sherrard, German & Kelly is committed to helping clients achieve the best business result possible in every case – in and out of the courtroom.
