Commercial Litigation Attorneys
Building Cases Against the Biggest Commercial Defendants in the Nation
When commercial transactions go wrong, when massive companies commit fraud or unethical practices, or when commercial entities wrong our clients in any way, they call Arnold & Itkin. Our firm is a relentless advocate for people or businesses that have been unfairly or wrongfully treated. As a result, we’ve secured over $10 billion for our clients—helping them recover from enormous financial setbacks.
Our firm has extensive experience handling all commercial issues, including:
- Contract law
- Construction defects
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Oil and gas disputes
- Overtime violations
- Partnership disputes

We prepare every case as if it's going to trial. We consult experts, depose witnesses, and demand information from the individuals, companies, and professionals who harmed our clients. Then we bring it all together, using innovative techniques to clarify complex problems before judges, juries, and arbitration panels. This gives us a position of strength at the negotiating table and allows us to win in the courtroom if a fair settlement cannot be reached. No matter how big our opponent or how outnumbered our team may be, we pour everything we have into winning. No matter what.

No Matter What Questions
-
Can I Sue When a Business Interferes with My Clients?
Yes, by filing a tortious interference suit. Tortious interference with contracts includes cases where a defendant intentionally causes a client of yours to breach a contract or become unable to fulfill their obligations under a contract. Tortious interference with business relations includes cases where the defendant engages in wrongful conduct (e.g. defamation) that results in losses to the business. -
Can I Sue a Financial Advisor?
If a financial advisor mismanaged your money through poor investments or deception, you may be able to sue them for financial malpractice. The law provides for the ability to seek damages against financial advisors for breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation, securities fraud, or deceptive trade practices. -
Can I Sue for Breach of Verbal Contract?
While written contracts are easier to enforce, verbal contracts can still be legally binding in some cases. Contracts that must be in writing (under Texas law) include real estate transactions and leases or commissions for oil and gas drilling. Outside of those areas, verbal contracts can be enforced, which means you can sue for a breach. -
What’s a Complex Business Dispute?
Complex business disputes arise from litigating two different types of commercial situations: when multiple parties are involved in a dispute (e.g. shareholders, officers, board members, and subcontractors), or when litigation must take place in multiple venues (i.e. state and federal court). These cases are highly technical and require a great deal of skill to resolve in your favor.
No Matter the Situation.
