General Commercial Liability Practice Group

In today’s litigious environment, businesses are faced with lawsuits from a growing array of sources. Many come in the form of traditional personal injury and property damage claims, from general liability claims arising from management or employee negligence to slip-and-fall and other premises liability actions. Others arise from the products businesses sell or the services they provide. Still others come from the increasing number of laws that enable individuals to sue businesses. In addition to the potential liability they carry, these lawsuits can be expensive to defend, tie up company resources and attention, drag on endlessly, and in some cases cause major business disruptions.
