Gordon & Centracchio, LLC’s roots are grounded from the days when general litigation firms used to be common place. While our litigation practice concentrates in serious personal injury, our lawyers continue to litigate a wide variety of commercial matters. Keeping a broad litigation scope allows us to serve existing clients, expand our client base and keep our litigation and transactional skills
honed. Crossing over between personal injury and commercial litigation provides a perspective that promotes an objective view of litigation. We believe there is a great benefit to seeing all sides of any matter as it reduces tunnel vision that often prohibits litigants from clearly assessing their case. Our commercial litigation experience includes a wide variety of matters including but not limited to shareholder/partner disputes, litigation involving a variety of real estate issues, breach of contract, various commercial transactions, creditor’s rights, construction, claims for injunctive relief, intellectual property infringement, and employment matters. It is born out of years of representing various size businesses in a multitude of disputes. As a result of our litigation success our clients have also entrusted us with a wide variety of transactional work. Our transactional philosophy is an extension of our extensive litigation experience. After all, a good agreement not only defines consideration terms it also reduces exposure while providing a dispute resolution road map should the business relationship deteriorate. Who better to develop such a road map than the lawyers who regularly travel the roads. Seeing how agreements (or the lack thereof) are litigated puts us in a superior position to foresee what an agreement needs to avoid scenarios that could result in future costly litigation. Similarly, we often are called upon by our business clients to assess the potential pit falls of their business decisions with an emphasis of reducing potential exposure. Gordon
