Lesser, Landy, Smith & Siegel, PLLC has built a strong reputation advocating for injured clients and their families and delivering exceptional results since 1927. But some practitioners may be less familiar with the Contingency Business Litigation division of our firm, which is experiencing massive growth and is handling a variety of high-stakes, complex, and top-dollar claims across Florida.
Our firm can handle these cases more strategically and efficiently than other law firms because we are not wed to the billable-hour business model that is commonplace in the world of commercial litigation. Our priority is not billing clients – it is winning for clients. And part of our unique approach in handling these cases is working with referring attorneys and subject-matter experts to assemble a top-notch legal team capable of aggressively pushing forward our clients’ cases in Florida’s State and Federal courts or in arbitration proceedings.
Our firm is bullish on a variety of claims, spanning a wide range of industries. For example, our firm handles cases that run the gamut from breach of contract, fraud, tortious interference, trade secret misappropriation, breach of fiduciary duty, and defamation. We are keen on resolving business disputes in areas, including, but not limited to, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data breaches, sports and entertainment, mass torts, and class actions. We will represent individuals, small businesses, and large corporations. Because our firm does not recover anything if we do not prevail for the client, the primary thing on our mind from day one of the case is to obtain the very best result for the client.
Here are just a few key reasons to work with our firm.
Predictability
We are able to better guide clients to navigate business disputes when “cost” is not an issue. By removing much of the billable-hour guesswork of what is ultimately going to be owed by the client in the event that they prevail, our interests are aligned from the outset of the case, and we are mutually focused on securing the best possible result in the most expeditious manner.
We are also able to take whatever action is necessary in a case without having to do a cost-benefit analysis. When everyone is on the same page with respect to the ultimate goal, we are able to leave no stone unturned. We can work with the best experts, tackle difficult discovery issues, including thorny e-discovery, and prepare top-quality motions.
Experience
The attorneys at our firm are some of the premier litigators and trial lawyers in Florida. Accreditations and awards include, but are not limited to, civil trial board certification, Law Dragon Leading Plaintiff Consumer Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell Preeminent rating, the National Top 100 Trial Lawyers, Million Dollar Advocates Forum – and the list goes on.
When you work with us, you can be assured that the case will be handled with the utmost level of skill and diligence. We have no fear of deep-bench corporate law firms because many of our lawyers have worked at those firms. Cost transparency is the future of the practice of law, and the days of rendering a costly invoice for minimal results will be soon long gone. Part of our experience is recognizing that shared interests between lawyers and clients leads to great results.
Communication
Our firm is built on referrals. We do not advertise. Part of what makes us special is the white-glove service and constant communication that we provide for our clients. Anyone who has worked with us in the past knows that our firm’s commitment to communication also extends to our referring lawyers.
Working with us on Contingency Business Litigation cases means you are a critical part of the team and that you will always be apprised of our plan to maximize recovery for the client.
Call us at 561-655-2028 if you would like to work with our Contingency Business Litigation team. We look forward to being pioneers in this space, and we hope you will join us if you have a client that you think can benefit from our innovative approach.
