Since our founding over 100 years ago, businesses have turned to Rushton Stakely for aggressive representation in commercial litigation. Over the years, our business and anti-trust lawyers have defended national and international corporations embroiled in litigation over business operations. Anti-trust violations, copyright infringement, trademark infringement, unfair competition and deceptive trade practices, contractual disputes — our trial lawyers bring to bear extensive courtroom experience in forcefully defending businesses of all types.

We also have extensive experience and expertise navigating the complexities involved in the defense of class action litigation, and we have represented a variety of companies in a number of such cases across the state.

We also represent companies in suits involving claims of price-fixing and market manipulation; litigation between owners, architects, and contractors; securities fraud; and disputes arising out of the sale/disposition of businesses. Our lawyers have extensive experience defending banking institutions against a variety of claims, including the Truth in Lending Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We have also represented clients seeking to establish or protect their trademarks and copyrights.
