Civil & Corporate Litigation
We are Here to Help
At CG Law, we represent clients in a wide spectrum of civil and commercial litigation matters, combining strategic advocacy with deep business and financial insight.
Our firm’s civil and corporate litigation practice is built on decades of experience helping individuals and businesses resolve disputes efficiently, intelligently, and with a clear understanding of both the legal and practical consequences of every decision.
Shareholder and Partnership Disputes
Disagreements among business owners can be among the most complex and emotionally charged forms of litigation. We represent shareholders, partners, and members of closely held corporations and limited liability companies in conflicts involving ownership rights, breaches of fiduciary duty, minority oppression, and governance disputes. Our goal is to protect our clients’ financial and managerial interests while preserving business continuity whenever possible.
Buy-Sell Agreements and Business Valuations
We frequently advise and litigate matters involving buy-sell agreements, business valuation disputes, and exit strategies. Whether a dispute arises from a forced sale, dissolution, or change in ownership structure, our team understands how to evaluate the economic realities behind the numbers. Our experience in tax litigation and resolution adds a layer of sophistication in identifying and addressing valuation and capital structure issues that often drive these cases.
Corporate Waste and Derivative Claims
CG Law has represented both companies and individual shareholders in corporate waste claims and shareholder derivative suits. We are skilled in assessing claims of mismanagement, self-dealing, and misuse of corporate assets, and in determining when a derivative action—or defense—is the most effective path forward. Our approach emphasizes practical outcomes and cost-effective strategies aligned with our clients’ long-term interests.
Integrating Tax and Financial Expertise
What distinguishes our litigation practice is the firm’s extensive background in tax resolution and tax litigation. Business disputes rarely exist in isolation; they often carry substantial tax implications. Our understanding of complex financial and tax structures allows us to navigate these issues holistically—whether uncovering hidden liabilities, tracing cash flow, or structuring settlements that minimize tax exposure.
When Business and Personal Disputes Overlap
Increasingly, shareholder and partnership disputes arise in the context of personal transitions, including divorce. Our experience in high-asset and business-owner divorce litigation gives us a unique perspective on cases where business and family interests intersect. We understand how to evaluate ownership interests, protect business operations during domestic litigation, and negotiate resolutions that preserve both personal and professional stability.
A Strategic, Results-Oriented Approach
From pre-litigation counseling to trial and appeal, we approach every matter with a focus on clarity, preparation, and strategy. We work closely with clients to understand their goals—whether that means pursuing damages, defending against claims, or reaching a negotiated resolution that protects long-term value. Our firm’s litigation philosophy is grounded in efficiency, precision, and advocacy that is both practical and powerful.
