Often when a business dispute arises, the party being sued accepts their role as defendant and takes a defensive stance against the charges levied. At Callahan & Blaine, we discourage our commercial and corporate litigation clients from thinking in narrow terms of “plaintiff” or “defendant.”
When your company is attacked, you need a law firm that will come out swinging. At Callahan & Blaine, most of the cases we handle involve counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party practice. What might have begun as a contract action against your company might be dwarfed by the antitrust or fraud claims you can pursue against one or more opponents.
For example, when our client was sued for breach of contract and fraud, Callahan & Blaine counterclaimed against the plaintiff for fraud, breach of contract, and theft. After a hard-fought jury trial battle, the attorney for Callahan & Blaine convinced the jury to return a multi-million dollar verdict against the plaintiff. This case reflects yet another situation in which a client asked Callahan & Blaine for help because it was being sued yet Callahan & Blaine not only defeated the claims against its client, but obtained a positive recovery by an aggressive countersuit.
Our law firm represents corporate, professional and entrepreneurial clients of all sizes: multi-national, Fortune 500 companies, California-based corporations, medium and small businesses, homeowners associations, and employers and individuals engaged in business. Our ability to integrate outstanding trial skills with sophisticated litigation strategy and resourceful dispute resolution tactics can make the winning difference in your company’s contract, corporate or business tort case.
