We Are Trial Lawyers:

Most businesses retain lawyers who focus on drafting contracts, tax and other transactional matters. While we don’t question their ability to draft documents, provide tax advice and handle other transactional matters, we differ because our primary focus is getting disputes resolved through settlement or trying cases to allow juries to make decisions. Our creative experience and record of success in presenting cases to juries assists in having competitors see the finish line of disputes. Whether preparing for a multi-million dollar trial or litigating a smaller business dispute, we provide the same tenacity and effort to ensure our clients feel valued and obtain their desired results.

We Handle Clients’ Disputes While Adding Value:

Kelley|Witherspoon, LLP is also distinguished from other firms handling business matters because if we do not believe in your claim we will respectfully decline to represent your entity. We work to assist business owners, investors and professionals who have or will incur financial loss as a result of business partners, competitors, insurers and others. If you desire to protect your interest contact Kelley|Witherspoon, LLP.

We Share the Risks With Companies And Eliminate Clients Worries:

If your matter is accepted on a contingent basis, and your case is unsuccessful, your company will not be responsible for costs. We understand many small and medium-sized business cannot afford tens and hundreds of thousands in fees to receive adequate legal representation. We have all witnessed to many instances of businesses tying up money or profits as a result of business disputes. It is our effort to ensure our clients incur little if any financial loss, and instead focus on recoveries that ultimately support their bottom line. In limited circumstances our firm will accept hourly retainers or hybrid arrangements in which an hourly fee and percentage of recovery is paid. In summary, our business model and handling of legal disputes allows our business clients to focus on their product or service without further jeopardizing revenue.

Kelley|Witherspoon also offers companies a hybrid contact that includes an hourly fee to cover court-related costs plus a contingency model tied to the outcome of the business versus business litigation. We are of belief that this is an innovative way of giving a modestly capitalized business the opportunity to protect their rights via the Courts. Most small and medium sized companies have better use of corporate assets than paying hundreds per hour to pursue contingent litigation. We provide an alternative that places companies in a win-win situation.

Maximizing Damages - It isn't enough to establish liability in a business dispute, the outcome of a client's case also depends on proving the full extent of damages. Kelley|Witherspoon knows how to find the best economists and other business experts who can quantify our client's losses sustained as a result of defendant's wrongdoing. More importantly, we at Kelley|Witherspoon know how to present the damages to juries in a way that makes them understand that our clients have been truly harmed and deserve to be made whole to the full extent authorized by law.

Examples of Business Cases That Can Be Handled On Contingency Fees - The two most common losses businesses sustain are the result of other parties breaching contracts or their insurance companies failing to pay benefits due under their insurance policies. Other cases, called business torts, can involve unfair competition, stealing business secrets, stealing customer lists, stealing employees, lost opportunities etc. Yet another area of losses for businesses is where they rely upon faulty advice or work of professionals they have hired, like lawyers, accountants, insurance brokers, etc. Other types of litigation that business or businesspeople get involved in are related to their business dealings, such as receipt of inadequate goods, real estate disputes, buy-sell disputes, etc.
