What is Complex Contract Litigation?
Complex contract litigation arises when significant business or financial interests are at stake, and the dispute involves intricate agreements, multiple parties, or overlapping legal issues. These cases often concern commercial contracts, partnership agreements, supply chains, or service arrangements that require detailed interpretation and strategic litigation. At Law Done Right®, we analyze every clause, communication, and business context to identify and uncover key leverage points. Our attorneys, Joe Schreiber and Erik Knockaert, focus on efficiently resolving high-stakes contract disputes through negotiation, arbitration, or trial.

Our Approach to Complex Contract Litigation
We Understand Your Business and Your Goals
Before diving into strategy, we take the time to understand your business, the relationships behind the contract, and what matters to you, whether it’s preserving a partnership, recovering losses, or defending your reputation. Joe and Erik review the facts and communications to identify the core issues that will drive the case and shape a creative strategy.
We Dissect the Contract and the Evidence
Complex contract cases often turn on the smallest details. We scrutinize every clause, email, and timeline to uncover inconsistencies and build leverage. Joe and Erik leverage their deep knowledge of contract law with practical business insight, identifying not just what happened, but why, and how to use that strategically to strengthen your position from the outset.
We Build a Litigation Strategy That Fits Your Case
No two contract disputes are the same. We don’t follow cookie-cutter playbooks or rely on armies of associates to churn through hours. Instead, we craft creative, case-specific strategies to position you for success, whether through targeted discovery, early settlement leverage, or aggressive trial preparation. Every move we make aims to bring you closer to a resolution.
We Fight Smart, Efficient, and Fair
When negotiations fail, we litigate with precision. Joe and Erik personally handle your hearings, mediations, and trials throughout the process. We communicate clearly, keep you informed, and adapt as the case evolves. We aim to achieve the best possible outcome while treating your time, money, and trust with the same respect we’d expect if we were in your place.
