Civil Litigation Practice Areas
Currie Kendall's Litigation Practice Group offers clients a broad base of experience and expertise in disputes involving corporate transactions and governance; municipal, land use, and zoning matters; real estate transactions and development; probate matters and construction. This experience allows us to focus on issues unique to our clients' industries or personal situations, and to develop innovative solutions to address their needs. Because of our commitment to the client's best interests, our goal whenever possible is to avoid litigation, which can be costly and time consuming for our clients. Therefore, in addition to traditional litigation services, our attorneys may suggest alternative dispute resolution, which includes arbitration, mediation, and other facilitative procedures.
Our litigators' success is based on extensive experience and our commitment to establishing strong personal relationships between attorneys in the firm and the individual client or decision-makers within client companies. Currie Kendall has worked with companies in virtually every area of business, including manufacturing, financial services, construction, demolition, transportation, telecommunications, retail trade, and environmental services.
Our attorneys have successfully tried cases involving breach of contract, commercial fraud, shareholders' rights, employment, and land use, just to name a few. Our litigators handle cases in state and federal courts, representing publicly traded, international companies, closely-held family businesses, and individuals. In particular, financial services clients rely on the firm's Litigation Practice Group for traditional legal services involving all types of lender liability, including the representation of banks, credit unions, equipment lessors, and finance companies in disputes with borrowers and other financial institutions.
Currie Kendall litigators also concentrate on the unique skills required to effectively handle appellate work. We practice before the Michigan Court of Appeals, the Michigan Supreme Court, various U.S. Courts of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court.
