In today’s business environment, litigation has become part of the costs of doing business.  When a business dispute arises, Martin & Squires, P.A. is capable of effectively representing your interests in court.

As a progressive, forward-thinking business whose business is law, we take a collaborative approach to our litigation practice that is flexible and agile.  We allocate resources responsibly to maximize each professional’s contribution and the value to clients, including the unique ability to scale rapidly to adjust to client needs.

And, while certainly at ease in the courtroom, we also are adept at finding solutions in the boardroom. Attorneys tend to be less than skillful in developing settlement options with a business solution – this is where we excel.  The real world business experience of our attorneys and qualified mediators help us bring an in-depth yet practical perspective to the bargaining table.

We realize that often the best defense is a solid offense, and we work closely with business owners, managers, and in-house corporate counsel to develop strategies that mitigate risk and lay the groundwork for proper defense against potential actions.
