Pepe & Hazard's team of Financial Services and Business litigators represent leading corporations and their officers and directors, financial institutions, investors, and closely-held businesses in their most financially significant litigation and arbitration matters, often against the nation's largest law firms. These representations span a broad spectrum of business disputes, ranging from shareholder disputes to complex business tort litigation to gaming industry litigation.

Our litigators know the markets in which our clients compete.  But this is not enough.  It is equally important - indeed essential - to understand our clients' business objectives with respect to each litigation matter that we undertake.  Only then can we work with our clients to develop realistic litigation and trial strategies to most efficiently and effectively achieve those goals.

We never forget that litigation is a means to an end and that it is often in the client's best interest to resolve a dispute with certainty short of trial.  We litigate cases aggressively from the start to position them for favorable resolution short of the courtroom.  But, should that effort stall, we are trial attorneys - not just litigators.  We are known widely for our creativity and use of cutting-edge technology to most effectively present our case to the judge, juror or arbitrator.  Our trial attorneys possess not only a thorough understanding of the business environment in which our clients operate, but also have a proven track record of successfully trying cases to verdict in state and federal courts and in arbitration forums across the country.
