- Business DisputesWhen businesses sue businesses, issues can be complicated and a great deal of money may be at stake in a process that is often expensive and burdensome. Many cases involve the production of thousands of documents, depositions of employees and management, as well as disclosure of confidential technological and financial information. Dell, Moser, Lane & Loughney, LLC, is very sensitive to confidentiality concerns of our commercial clients and recognizes the need for efficient organization of documentation. In handling contract disputes, trade secret litigation, enforcement of restrictive covenants and commercial torts, we have encountered and are, therefore, familiar with virtually every type of issue which can arise in a commercial litigation context. In the 21st century, commercial litigation will involve increasingly high technology products and services. Our experience with complicated product liability, trade secret, and intellectual property cases supports and compliments our ability to handle high tech commercial litigation as well.

- Employment DiscriminationOver the years, we have successfully defended numerous self-insured clients and insureds, through their insurance carriers, from a variety of tort claims arising from the common law of the various jurisdictions in which we practice. Additionally, we have represented numerous corporate clients in business and commercial litigation involving contract disputes, restrictive covenants, intentional interference with contractual relations, construction matters and employment discrimination.
- Employment LitigationOur experienced staff of employment litigation attorneys have successfully handled cases arising under each theory of liability. When litigation is inevitable, we stand by our client's side and aggressively defend the case. We have the knowledge and skill to immediately pinpoint and expose flaws in a case, and to identify areas of the law that preclude the theories of liability being presented. This often results in the dismissal of groundless cases in the earlier stages of litigation, thus avoiding the time and expense of a trial. We also have a number of attorneys who focus their practice in workers' compensation, which allows us to draw from their wealth of experience in claims made under the ADA and FMLA. We work hand in hand with our clients' human resource departments to ensure an aggressive and thorough defense of these cases.
- Premises LiabilityPremises liability cases can often be defended successfully, and our goal is to conduct an appropriate investigation and ask the proper questions at depositions to obtain summary disposition. Our experience in handling premises liability cases enables us to engage in the type of focused discovery which can lead to resolution of a case by summary judgment, as opposed to an expensive and risky jury trial. However, when summary judgment is not obtainable, our attorneys are always prepared to try any case to verdict.
