Today the line between traditional "plaintiffs" and "defendants" in the business litigation arena is blurred. Businesses and individuals alike understand that business disputes arise and that litigation may be an appropriate option. Or, litigation may not be a choice because a business client may be forced to defendant a lawsuit. At CKPT, our attorneys represent local, regional, national, and international business entities in the prosecution and defense of suits arising out of a wide range of commercial transactions. Our litigation attorneys are also experienced in handling many different forms of alternative dispute resolution, including arbitrations and mediations, involving a wide variety of commercial and contruction issues.

Whether defending a business client in a breach of contract action or prosecuting a business fraud claim before a panel of arbitrators, our philosophy at CKPT remains the same – to vigorously represent each client, provide value-added counsel, and assist our clients in achieving individual business objectives.
