The firm's Wilmington, Delaware, office provides litigation and counseling services in corporate and commercial litigation, creditors' rights, bankruptcy, issues facing colleges and universities and land use matters. Our Wilmington team comprises Delaware lawyers of long standing who have achieved an essential familiarity with the close-knit Delaware bench and bar.

Corporate and Commercial Litigation

As the corporate home of thousands of U.S. businesses including more than half of the Fortune 500, Delaware has achieved the distinction of the world's corporate capital.

Accordingly, the Delaware Court of Chancery is widely accepted as one of the leading business litigation venues in the country. Our attorneys regularly litigate and try cases before the Court of Chancery involving business disputes.

In addition, our attorneys practice before the federal court in a broad range of areas. Our lawyers also regularly litigate matters in the Delaware Superior Court, which has been heralded for three consecutive years as the country's No. 1 court of general jurisdiction "doing the best job of creating a fair and reasonable litigation environment" in a survey of the nation's top in-house counsel and senior litigators.

In short, our attorneys practice every day in three of the most active and well-regarded courts in the nation deciding the issues that affect the way business is done around the globe.

Bankruptcy and Creditors' Rights

Delaware continues to be the jurisdiction of choice for large companies in distress across the country. The bankruptcy court sitting in Delaware therefore continues to grow in importance to our clients, which include large financial institutions, secured and unsecured creditors, lessors and trustees. Our attorneys regularly represent purchasers of assets out of bankruptcy. We also regularly prosecute and defend adversary proceedings, including preference and avoidance claims, and engage in general claims litigation. This broad base of experience allows us to provide our clients with the creative, efficient and highly effective legal services they need to achieve their objectives.
