He is a trial and appellate lawyer with experience in a broad range of civil litigation matters for both corporate and individual clients. Mr. Hutchison's areas of practice include unfair competition, trademarks, trade secrets, partnerships, breach of warranty, intellectual property, professional liability of architects, engineers, attorneys, accountants, investment advisors, financial planners, real estate brokers, and surveyors, toxic torts, personal injury, employment and environmental claims.

He has consulted with the pharmaceutical industry on anticompetitive and antitrust implications of drug pricing and represented an electronics company in trade secret litigation involving microwave communications technology.

He has successfully defended a claim that a private placement memorandum contained misleading statements that caused bond purchasers $50 million in losses; defended a national law firm in a class action complaint arising out of tax shelters; defended financial planners against claims of unsuitable investments; and defended a brokerage firm in a claim arising out of employee theft of investors' money.

He has also litigated intellectual property disputes involving copyright and trademarks, water distribution and engineering feasibility studies and local, state and federal accessibility issues. He has obtained numerous favorable arbitration awards where the issues involved alleged deficiencies in architecture, civil engineering, and marine engineering, including claims for delays, extra expense due to insufficient plans and specifications, failed building materials, and structural collapses.

Success has also been achieved in personal injury actions. In addition to his trial and appellate advocacy, Mr. Hutchison has successfully resolved hundreds of cases in mediation and direct settlements.Mr. Hutchison has also represented educational institutions, transportation companies, individuals and commercial entities in construction, contract, employment, intellectual property, personal injury and toxic tort claims.
