Serving individuals to Fortune 500 companies, our litigators defend ongoing businesses primarily, but also represent worthy plaintiffs in challenging situations. Reaching a satisfactory resolution in an early and cost-effective way is Schuyler Roche's goal. When achieving it entails defending a client before a judge, jury or agency, pursuing a claim before a regulatory body or participating in arbitration, protecting the client's rights and privileges remains paramount.

Michael Roche, who heads our Business Litigation practice group, has spent his entire 37-year career at Schuyler Roche. Arguably one of the nation's leading attorneys in securities and commodities claims resolution, he built his practice through referrals from both satisfied clients and respectful adversaries. His leadership ensures oversight on each case by a skilled and experienced litigator. His success has been due in no small part to the loyal team he has developed and trained over many years—attorneys who themselves have become expert trial lawyers and litigators.

Several years ago Michael Roche's securities and commodities practice grew to include representation in national recruitment matters and restrictive covenant enforcement of a major Wall Street brokerage firm. While this representation prohibits Schuyler Roche from representing other broker-dealers, the experience our firm has acquired through this advocacy qualifies us to draft covenants enforceable in every state jurisdiction and to enforce those covenants in other industries where proprietary knowledge deserves protection and where agreements against competition or employee raiding demand enforcement to be meaningful.

Our attorneys practicing commercial and employment litigation handle a broad spectrum of cases, from simple contractual disputes to extraordinarily complex antitrust actions. As litigators and counselors, Joseph Stevens and others dedicated to labor arbitration and litigation are well versed in the myriad statutes, regulations and rules governing today's workplace, both in union and in nonunion settings. Our professional liability litigators ardently defend against claims of malpractice, representing the gamut from accountants to physicians to general contractors. Our intellectual property attorneys not only defend against trademark infringement and unfair competition claims, they also educate clients about their rights.

Litigation has always been a cornerstone of our law firm; our business litigation team remains committed to aggressive prosecution and defense, to timely resolution and to assiduous representation.
