LITIGATION

Litigation Philosophy
Rufus-Isaacs, Acland & Grantham offers clients a dynamic and aggressive, yet cost-effective solution, to resolving disputes relating to entertainment, media, partnership, employment, unfair competition, intellectual property, insurance and general business matters. We believe that litigation may not always be in the client’s best interests. In some situations, there is no alternative, and in others, litigation offers a tactical advantage. However, in many cases, the client’s best approach may be to control legal expenses and explore alternative ways of resolving the dispute at the outset. If litigation must be pursued, it should be done aggressively but with the client’s financial objectives in mind.
