Business Litigation Attorneys in Pleasanton, CA

Business Litigation Overview

Providing Bay Area and Northern California Businesses With Aggressive Trial Representation and Results Since 1976

My name is James G. Schwartz, founder of the Law Offices of James G. Schwartz, in Pleasanton, California. As an attorney, I have been advising and achieving favorable courtroom results on behalf of business clients for 35 years. In the last 30 months alone, I have prevailed in eight commercial cases in Northern California courts.

My goal with every dispute is to resolve it as effectively and efficiently as possible. This process starts by making certain that I understand the business in question, the nature of the dispute and the client’s specific concerns, problems and goals for resolving it. I then work closely with each client to determine the best course of action as well as alternatives for achieving their objectives. 

Business Litigation and Dispute Resolution Services

I resolve a wide variety of disputes for small and mid-sized companies in Alameda County, Contra Costa County, the Bay Area and Northern California. My experience with specific types of business disputes and related litigation includes:

Breach of contract claims

Claims alleging fraud or unfair business practices

Franchise and licensing disputes

Partnership, shareholder and business dissolution disputes

Copyright, trademark and trade secrets disputes

Employment disputes (discrimination claims, noncompete litigation, etc.)

Real estate disputes

Debt collection actions

Construction disputes

In my 35 years of practice, I have had substantial experience and success with resolving these and other types of business disputes through alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation or arbitration. That said, I will always be prepared to prosecute or defend your interests in state or federal court when alternative approaches fail to produce acceptable results.

If you are the party interested in bringing an action, I will aggressively pursue monetary damages and/or any other remedies that may be appropriate. If you or your business has been named as the defendant in a lawsuit, I will aggressively counter those claims and employ strategies designed to limit your potential exposure.
