Nick serves as co-chair of our litigation practice, working closely with in-house counsel and business owners to protect and grow their operations. He brings to his client relationships a diverse background that includes high-volume insurance defense portfolio work, extremely sensitive employment litigation, and management of bet-the-company cases with nine-figure trial values.
Driven by the understanding that litigation typically distracts business leaders from focusing on their organizational operations, Nick works to minimize this disruption with a calm and measured style balanced with zealous representation.
An experienced litigator, Nick’s approach to work is based on aggressive advocacy and careful consultation throughout the entire litigation process. For clients facing litigation, his goal is to achieve the best possible result using the most efficient methods, developing strategies by examining all options and providing constant communication.
General Litigation
Nick works with clients across a wide variety of business and commercial disputes. He specializes in prosecuting and defending complex commercial disputes and litigation matters, such as breach of contract actions, trade secrets, business breakups, and shareholder breach of fiduciary duties. Nick also works with management-side in-house counsel and business leaders in all manner of disputes, regularly litigating large commercial disputes, employment disputes of all kinds, (including, fair wages and hours, non-compete agreements, and OSHA defense matters), deceptive trade practice claims, and unfair competition actions. Additionally, he has successfully defended bet-the-company actions, with an emphasis on media management and protecting trade secrets.
Additional Areas of Focus
Nick’s litigation practice also extends to disputes rooted both in real property (including real estate claims, trespassing, nuisance, water runoff, boundary, and title disputes) and in personal privacy and harassment (such as defamation, free speech and other constitutional issues).
