Seeking Positive Resolutions to Business Disputes in Minnesota
If you are involved in a contract dispute, a real estate dispute or any other type of commercial dispute, you need a lawyer who is prepared to give your case individual attention and pursue a strategy based on an understanding of your goals and your bottom line.
I'm Minneapolis attorney Lee Watson, and I represent local and out-of-state individuals and businesses involved in commercial disputes in Minnesota. Whether your case is likely to end up in litigation, arbitration or another venue, contact me to discuss your options.
Your Advocate in All Types of Proceedings
Commercial disputes can be resolved in a number of different ways, depending in part on the industries in which they take place and any contractual terms that may be relevant.
In some cases, if a dispute cannot be settled, it ends up in litigation. In other cases, there are mandatory arbitration clauses written into contracts. And in other cases, there may be state or federal administrative agencies with oversight over disputes.
I have decades of experience advocating for clients in court, in arbitration and before regulatory agencies.
I understand that the costs and uncertainty involved in resolving commercial disputes through litigation can seem prohibitive. Throughout the process of handling your case, I will remain focused on smart and effective strategy.
Taking the Approach That Is Right for You
My approach to litigation is focused on meticulous case preparation and the use of technology to make legal research and documentation more efficient. I always look for opportunities to promptly achieve case resolutions that are favorable to my clients.
I am prepared to litigate commercial disputes through the trial and appellate courts on both the state and federal level if necessary.
Arbitration and other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation — even when not mandatory — may be helpful in achieving positive outcomes. I am experienced at identifying when there is something to be gained to employing these procedures.
