LITIGATION

As part of the business teams of our clients, we believe that, to be able to negotiate effectively, you must be aware that negotiations may fail and be ready to use adversarial problem solving techniques to attain your goals. Our litigation team works very closely with clients in balancing the benefits and disadvantages of each scenario and mapping a detailed strategy for each case. We like to share the responsibility of each case with company management, and we firmly believe that keeping the client informed and involved at all times is essential to maintain an effective case management and achieve results. We have extensive experience in federal and local courts in handling plaintiffs and defendants' cases dealing, among other things with the following:

* dealers' disputes
* business contract disputes
* sales representatives issues
* banking
* antitrust
* insurance regulatory and claims issues
* bankruptcy
* private claims concerning real estate, planning and land use disputes
* environmental disputes between lessees/lessors, current owners/past owners, and industrial and commercial neighbor disputes
* government/administrative actions related to land use permitting and environmental compliance
* labor & employment

We have extensive hands-on experience in complex administrative issues before federal and local agencies, and have a network of consultants and experts to address the nonlegal issues that cases raise. We practice considerably before local and federal appellate courts, and the litigation team partners are admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court. Our experience in commercial litigation also has required us to become well acquainted with alternate dispute resolution mechanisms and arbitration. Such alternate mechanisms have also been used in environmental administrative enforcement actions with the support of our environmental practice group partners.

TCMR&S has a proven and effective trial support team who works very closely with case lead litigators and accomplish tasks efficiently and cost effectively. Our litigators have appeared before other forums, and when the case has required it, they are always ready to provide litigation support to non-local firms, conduct discovery and investigative proceedings, depositions, and special meetings in other jurisdictions outside Puerto Rico.
