At Law Done Right® – Schreiber | Knockaert, PLLC, we handle business litigation with strategy and purpose. When your company is on the line, you need experienced trial attorneys who think several moves ahead. Joe Schreiber and Erik Knockaert personally develop and execute every game plan efficiently, creatively, and with your best interests at heart. We take on complex, high-stakes disputes that other firms avoid and fight relentlessly to protect your business.
Business Divorce
When business partners split, the fallout can be as emotional and high-stakes as a personal divorce. We handle complex disputes between shareholders, members, and partners involving millions in assets, control of thriving companies, and allegations of misconduct. Joe and Erik bring deep corporate law insight and trial experience to untangle ownership structures, expose wrongdoing, and protect your stake during acrimonious and high-stakes business conflicts.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property disputes can threaten the core of your business: your ideas, branding, or proprietary technology. With Erik’s background in intellectual property law, we handle trademark, copyright, trade dress, and patent-related conflicts with precision and creativity. We protect your innovations and brand identity from misuse or theft and defend you if wrongly accused. We act quickly to prevent misuse, enforce your rights, and preserve your competitive advantage.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
When a business partner, officer, or director violates the trust placed in them, the financial and personal harm can be severe. We represent clients in breach of fiduciary duty cases involving self-dealing, embezzlement, concealment, and conflicts of interest. Joe and Erik investigate thoroughly, trace hidden assets, and hold bad actors accountable. Whether you’re defending against false accusations or pursuing justice, we ensure your rights are protected.
Business Arbitration
Many commercial contracts require arbitration instead of court proceedings. We handle these cases with the same tenacity we bring to trial. Joe and Erik know how to navigate arbitration forums effectively, from crafting persuasive submissions to cross-examining witnesses. We approach arbitration as a strategic opportunity to achieve efficient, decisive outcomes. Our clients benefit from lean, focused advocacy that maximizes the strength of their case.
Complex Contract Litigation
Contracts are the backbone of every business relationship, but when they break down, the results can be costly. We litigate and resolve disputes involving supply, service, licensing, and merger agreements. Joe and Erik analyze the fine print, identify leverage points, and build persuasive cases that align with your goals. Whether enforcing payment terms or defending against allegations, we identify practical solutions that protect your bottom line and reputation.
Commercial Disputes
We represent individuals and small businesses in commercial conflicts against large corporations and government entities. These cases often involve unfair competition, failed ventures, or broken deals. We understand how to leverage complexity and scale against our opponents, using sharp legal strategy to achieve results. Joe and Erik personally engage in every phase of the process to ensure your case gets the attention it deserves.
Fraud & Misrepresentation
Deception in business dealings can destroy trust and cause significant losses. We prosecute and defend cases involving fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and deceptive trade practices. We investigate every detail (financial records, communications, and transactions) to uncover the truth. Joe and Erik leverage their courtroom experience and analytical rigor to build evidence-based cases that hold wrongdoers accountable and protect honest business owners.
Trade Secrets & Unfair Competition
When competitors steal confidential information, clients, or key employees, swift action is critical. We help clients protect trade secrets, proprietary data, and goodwill through injunctions and litigation. Erik’s technical understanding and Joe’s trial experience make us highly equipped to handle these cases. We develop efficient, tailored strategies that stop unfair competition, secure your competitive advantage, and restore the integrity of your business relationships.
Temporary Restraining Orders & Injunctions
When immediate action is necessary to prevent harm, we move fast. Joe and Erik regularly obtain and defend against temporary restraining orders and injunctions to protect businesses from imminent threats like data theft, asset diversion, or breach of non-compete agreements. We know time is critical, so we act decisively to preserve your position and stabilize the situation while preparing a long-term strategy for success in court or settlement.
