Commercial Litigation

Fitzhugh & Mariani’s clients include public and closely held corporations, partnerships and other entities from small local companies to Fortune 500 corporations. Our philosophy is to develop a relationship with each of our clients. As a result, we have an in-depth understanding of their goals and objectives allowing us to provide the appropriate services. This can require taking an aggressive approach to defend or pursue claims at trial, or it can require delicate positioning of the case to achieve a negotiated settlement so that our client can continue a business relationship with the other party. We bring our legal expertise, case management experience, and powerful document management and trial presentation software to all cases, no matter the size of the client or the case.
