Colt Wallerstein is a business litigation boutique that welcomes any dispute, large or small, in any venue. If necessary, we can call upon our contacts with lawyers all over the country to provide efficient, localized service.   We represent both plaintiffs and defendants.  We specialize in general and complex commercial litigation, employment (including harassment, discrimination, retaliation and non-compete agreements), copyright and trademark, trade secrets, class actions, and First Amendment law.   

Our approach to litigation involves quickly gaining an in-depth understanding of our client, its litigation goals, its adversary, and its adversary’s motivation, goals and pressure points.  We look for creative and efficient business resolutions when possible, and always consider early on whether to invoke alternative dispute resolution procedures like mediation.   We also quickly assess the strengths and weaknesses of the case. 

Our attorneys have an impressive track record of engaging in efficient, focused legal research and planning and executing “surgical strikes” to quickly narrow and often destroy our adversary’s legal position.  When prolonged litigation becomes necessary, we work closely with our client and develop a comprehensive, long-term pre-trial, trial, and exit strategy, including a detailed budget.
