Hawaii Litigation Law Firm
Put Our Litigation Experience to Work for You
Our litigators have extensive experience in the courtroom as well as in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) proceedings and in court-mandated and voluntary arbitrations. When our clients face legal disputes, we seek the most cost-effective resolution that is in our client's best interests.
When working with us, you will have the confidence that comes from having an experienced trial lawyer who also has an in-depth knowledge of the Hawai'i and Pacific Rim business environment. As a full-service litigation law firm, we will litigate local and international cases; small disputes and large, complex lawsuits; corporate disputes and family law disputes; white collar crime allegations; and real estate and construction disagreements.
- Complex commercial litigation: Aided by technologies such as e-discovery, our attorneys provide effective representation in complex legal actions.
- Insurance: We handle disputes with regard to all types of insurance, including health, insurance bad faith, and property and casualty insurance.
- Real estate and construction: Our knowledge of Hawai'i laws and real estate development market is a decided advantage for our clients.
- State and federal administrative law: We represent businesses, individuals and government organizations in administrative and regulatory proceedings.
- Corporate operations, mergers and acquisitions, securities: Our lawyers help businesses deal with formation, contracts, employment issues and disputes.
