Antitrust Litigation
William A. Markham, who leads our antitrust practice, has extensively litigated a wide range of complex antitrust cases in federal and state court in California since 1988.
Business Litigation
Mr. Markham and Mr. Bishop both have substantial, successful experience litigating a broad array of commercial disputes.
Real Estate Litigation
We litigate and try substantial disputes that concern the ownership, development, sale and possession of interests in real properties.
We perform the following kinds of legal work: Antitrust litigation; antitrust counseling; business litigation (breach of contract and the essential business torts, as well as patent misuse, trademark infringement, false advertising, and other business disputes); and various kinds of real estate matters.
We also conduct appellate litigation in these practice-areas and have obtained reversals of judgment and affirmances for our clients.
Dorn Bishop, who is “of counsel” to the firm, also handles insurance matters, RICO claims, and white-collar crime.
We limit our work to these practice areas so that we can devote our full efforts to matters that we fully understand and can perform at the highest level of proficiency. We accept only a limited number of matters at any given time so that we can devote sufficient time and our undivided attention to each of them.
If we cannot accept your matter, we may be able to help you find another capable law firm that can do so.
Our Ability to Accept Large Cases
Several times we have been opposed by teams of highly capable attorneys fielded by leading global law firms. In any such matter, or whenever the need arises, we can quickly assemble our own team of first-rate professionals who have worked with us successfully on prior occasion, and we can also procure essential litigation services from reliable outside service-providers, so that we are never outmatched or overwhelmed even by the largest or most pro-active global firm.
We have obtained successful results for our clients in exceedingly difficult, sprawling, and complex antitrust controversies. We believe that our work in these matters has reflected favorably on us. All the while, we are able to maintain our reasonable billing arrangements because of the manner in which our practice is structured and our lean fixed costs.
