Business & Commercial Litigation
Partnership fights, lockouts, broken contracts, ruined reputations: the firm imposes order on them in the right sequence. The evidence and the money are secured first, then the leverage the facts actually give, so the business on the other side of it is still standing, and still growing.
What the firm handles
- Partnership, LLC-member and shareholder disputes: deadlock, lockout, freeze-out, dissolution
- Breach of contract and business torts, including fraud and breach of fiduciary duty
- Defamation, trade libel and business disparagement: defending reputations, personal and commercial, and the claims brought against them
- Trade secrets, non-compete and restrictive-covenant disputes
- Employment claims on either side: unpaid commissions, departing-employee disputes, executive exits
- Civil theft, conversion and fraudulent-chargeback claims
- Franchise and dealership disputes
- Lender liability, loan and mortgage disputes, and guaranty enforcement
- Professional malpractice claims
- Emergency relief: injunctions, receiverships, asset freezes
- Pre-suit strategy and negotiated exits where a lawsuit is the wrong tool
How the firm approaches it
Joshua R. Kon ran businesses before practicing law. So the first questions are commercial, not procedural: what is this dispute worth, what does winning look like, and what should it cost to get there. The litigation plan is built backward from that answer, and because the same lawyer handles trial, any appeal, and collection of the judgment, no leverage is lost in a hand-off.
While the facts are still fresh.
In a partnership fight, the first week tends to decide what the last one is worth.
