Madison’s reputation as one of the best places to live in the United States, earned through years of sustained rankings by Money Magazine, Niche, and CNN, reflects a community that values quality, professionalism, and high standards in every aspect of life. Those same expectations translate directly into the civil litigation environment. Professional liability claims arise when service providers fall short of the standards this community expects. Defamation matters surface when reputations are damaged in a market where professional standing matters.

Richardson provides litigation representation across a broad spectrum of civil dispute types. The firm’s general litigation practice extends beyond its core commercial and business work to include insurance coverage disputes, professional liability defense, tort and liability matters, employment-related litigation, and defamation claims. The common thread across all of this work is skilled, strategic trial advocacy.

Commercial and Business Litigation

Commercial and business disputes are the foundation of the firm’s litigation practice. Contract disagreements, ownership conflicts, fraud claims, and interference with business relationships are among the most common matters the firm handles. Richardson brings experience from hundreds of commercial disputes to every new matter, informing case assessment, strategy development, and the calibration of litigation intensity to the actual risk profile of each dispute.

Insurance Coverage and Defense Litigation

Insurance coverage disputes arise when an insurer and policyholder disagree about whether a claim is covered under the policy terms. Richardson handles insurance coverage disputes for both policyholders asserting coverage rights and insurers contesting the scope of their obligations. The firm also provides insurance defense representation, defending insureds in underlying litigation in coordination with coverage analysis and insurer requirements.

Professional Liability and Defamation

Professional liability claims are brought against attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, architects, engineers, and other professionals alleged to have caused harm through negligence or misconduct. Richardson provides defense representation in professional and institutional liability matters, evaluating the alleged breach against the applicable standard of care and defending the matter through trial when necessary. The firm handles both the prosecution of defamation claims on behalf of injured parties and the defense of parties accused of making defamatory statements.

Employment-Related and Tort Litigation

Employment-related litigation encompasses claims arising from workplace relationships, including wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, wage disputes, and non-compete enforcement. Richardson handles employment-related litigation as part of its broader general litigation practice, defending employers against employment claims and assisting employees or executives in asserting employment-related rights in appropriate circumstances. Tort and liability litigation encompasses negligence claims, premises liability matters, and other civil liability disputes.

Alternative Dispute Resolution and Post-Judgment Practice

Alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and binding arbitration, is an integral part of civil litigation practice. Many disputes are resolved through mediation before trial. Many commercial contracts require arbitration as the exclusive forum for dispute resolution. Richardson represents clients in mediation and arbitration proceedings as well as in court, approaching ADR as an extension of its litigation strategy. Post-judgment proceedings, including judgment enforcement, post-trial motions, and appeals, are also within the firm’s litigation practice.
