Litigation

Creative and Cost-Effective Dispute Resolutions

Our litigators appear before the state and federal courts, through the trial and appeal process. HSS&K's civil litigation practice includes complex matters arising under state and federal antitrust, securities, and employment laws. We represent our business clients in pursuing unfair trade practices, breach of contract, and Uniform Commercial Code matters. We have assisted clients in investigating and recovering monies lost through fraud and embezzlement. Our corporate litigation often involves trade secrets, employment contracts, and closely held corporate shareholder disputes.

HSS&K serves as local, lead and/or trial counsel for a variety of national and international reinsurance companies involving such issues as settlement allocation, collection of unpaid liabilities, obligations of utmost good faith, arbitration, and fraud claims.

We are just as frequently called upon for individual representation in a wide variety of areas, such as professional malpractice, product liability, toxic torts, personal injury, wrongful death, and discrimination law. We represent property owners and lenders in matters involving foreclosures, summary process, tax appeals, and zoning. We have assisted clients in cases involving artifacts, antiques, and rare automobiles. We handle probate litigation for beneficiaries and heirs involving will contests, breach of fiduciary duties, and alleged fraud.

Our criminal defense litigation includes representation of professionals and businessmen in federal tax, fraud, and labor investigations, as well as high profile state and federal prosecutions.

Our reputation for litigating complex cases has led local Connecticut law firms to retain us as trial counsel on some of their most complicated matters. Our reputation extends beyond Connecticut, to major New York, Boston, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. firms, who regularly refer sensitive civil and criminal matters to us, and retain us as local and co-counsel in class actions and other complex litigation.
