Our Practice

At Richardson Clement PC, we measure our own success by the success of our clients. We focus on our client relationships and are selective in our client base. Our clients include small, medium and large companies, business owners and leaders, families, and others in matters where substantial issues and damages are at stake. Our strong litigation and risk-management background enables us to assist our clients in “bet-the-company” matters due to external or internal threats including business divorce or owner-separation issues.

Our focus is on family or closely held businesses facing the following problems:

• Internal threats due to conflict between the owners of the business.
  • We work to resolve disputes among owners to keep the business intact, or failing that, to assist in business division or dissolution, including litigation that may arise during business divorce.
• Internal threats to the business due to disputes or conflict with or among key employees impacting business development and growth.
• External threats to the business due to disputes or conflict with venders/suppliers, customers, competitors, governmental authorities, or former employees, agents or servants of the business. We are strong advocates in defending against lawfare waged in our modern legal environment.
• Protection of company assets such as trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property, confidential or propriety information.
• Planning for business succession.

We handle high profile “bet-the-company” cases on behalf of our clients as a top-shelf litigation firm with a history of success. We are experienced advocates and have no interest in pursuing issues and spending time (and money) on matters that in the end will make no difference in the resolution of the dispute or make any ultimate difference to a judge, jury or arbitrator in deciding the case. We use our skills to resolve disputes when possible and when not, to tell our clients’ story in a way that resonates with the decision maker and with a clear focus on obtaining a successful outcome. We use technology to leverage our work, to quickly grasp facts and issues, and to develop presentations that can influence decision makers.
