Business litigation involving tort claims can arise in many contexts, ranging from counterclaims in contract or employment litigation to shareholder rights disputes upon the departure of a key equity partner, executive, or professional employee.

One advantage that Stanley Cheiken’s clients in business tort litigation enjoy is the ability to seek and obtain injunctive relief on short notice in order to stabilize a volatile situation, particularly in cases involving trade secrets, other confidential data, or barriers to the performance of essential contractual obligations.
