One of Brad’s primary practice areas is prosecuting legal malpractice claims. He has represented individuals, small businesses, and multinational corporations in situations where their prior attorneys make mistakes and must be held accountable. These cases can be complex and require an attorney who is well-informed about many areas of law.

Brad also represents businesses in other forms of litigation, pursuing antitrust claims, trade secret claims, property disputes, and claims of wrongful interference with contracts or business relationships. Brad’s technical proficiency and project management experience allows him to advise businesses which are considering litigation about their obligations to preserve relevant information.
