Holmes, Athey, Cowan & Mermelstein LLP

Our civil trial lawyers have decades of experience at some of the nation’s top law firms. We have handled high-stakes litigation for Fortune 500 companies, start-up companies, and individuals alike. We have gone toe-to-toe with some of the country’s most well-regarded firms and achieved outstanding results for our clients, including in “bet-the-company” litigation.

We work closely with our clients to help them formulate and achieve their goals in a timely, cost-effective manner. Understanding a client’s priorities and an opponent’s weaknesses is essential to any successful resolution. While our lawyers have the skills to win at trial, we also have the judgment to know when a negotiated settlement is the wiser path.

We handle a wide variety of commercial disputes, often involving claims of common law fraud, securities fraud and False Claims Act violations. We are equally well-versed in partnership disputes, breach of contract cases and other more generalized business disputes. We also specialize in “parallel proceedings” – situations where a client faces multiple civil, criminal and regulatory matters arising from the same circumstance.
