Business disputes are among the fastest growing litigation areas, and Morris James is dedicated to bringing to business litigation the same benefits of technology and client-focused litigation practices that it applies to other litigation areas. The Morris James attorneys who handled business litigation are all experienced in jury and bench trials. Because of their experience, they know what will be important in a trial and they focus the depositions and other discovery on those matters.
Moreover, they are not learning their art at the client's expense. Our attorneys represent both plaintiffs and defendants in a wide range of business litigation matters in all Delaware state and federal courts. Recent representations have included anti-trust and business tort litigation, commercial construction and real estate litigation (including mechanic's lien actions), commercial lease disputes, contract disputes, RICO cases, intellectual property and trade secret disputes, as well as unfair competition and commercial fraud cases.
Morris James has represented insurers in several comprehensive cases seeking declarations of insurance coverage for product liability, advertising injury liability, personal injury liability, patent infringement liability and environmental liability. Our attorneys also represent businesses in cases involving claims for extra contractual damages, breaches of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and unfair claims practices.
Morris James has represented a spectrum of clients ranging from large self-insured corporations, to apartment complexes to individuals in claims based on premises liability. The claims range from environment spills to toxic exposure to routine slip and falls.
Morris James' attorneys have shaped the development of products liability law in Delaware. James W. Semple successfully argued the cases that determined that there is no strict tort liability in Delaware, which established a sophisticated purchaser defense, that established the causal nexus required in toxic tort cases, and that rejected claims for cancer phobia unaccompanied by injury or disease. Morris James also has defended businesses in cases involving industrial and agricultural chemical exposures, silicone breast implants, industrial machinery, automobiles, consumer and food products.
