Litigation & Dispute Resolution
FLB Law’s Litigation & Dispute Resolution Practice handles civil and commercial litigation matters for individuals and national, regional, and local businesses. With attorneys recognized for their litigation and trial skills by leading industry organizations, such as Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America©, Martindale-Hubbell, American College of Trial Lawyers, and American Board of Trial Advocates, we help clients resolve matters of varied sizes and complexity and are known for our creative lawyering and problem-solving.
We litigate in state and federal courts in Connecticut and New York as well as in the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot tribal courts. Matters include:
Business Disputes

Carriers also entrust us to defend professionals -- lawyers, accountants, actuaries, realtors, architects, engineers, insurance agents and brokers -- in malpractice cases and disciplinary matters before licensing boards.
Leveraging our decades of experience defending liability claims of all types, we strive to resolve each claim in the most efficient, cost-effective manner using strategies that minimize our clients’ exposure, which may involve pursuing early resolution or shifting liability to others. In addition, we know what keeps claims professionals, risk managers and business owners up at night. As such, our attention to detail extends to the level of service we provide our clients, always anticipating their concerns and needs and providing vital information to keep them informed throughout the litigation.
Representing Clients in Business Disputes
As for business disputes, we represent companies of all sizes in matters involving breach of contract and unfair trade practices. We also defend directors, officers, and others against breach of fiduciary duty claims. Because we understand that commercial litigation can distract companies from achieving their goals, we seek to resolve business disputes quickly so our clients can focus on what’s important – their success in the marketplace.
Defending Contractors in Construction Defect Cases
In construction defect cases, we defend contractors against high-exposure claims of shoddy workmanship and breach of warranty. To defend our clients, we first achieve a deep understanding of the construction work at issue and then leverage experts, including engineers, to advance our arguments in defense of our clients’ work. In addition, given the number of entities typically involved in large construction projects, we routinely search for ways to transfer liability to others involved in the project.
Representing Clients in Real Estate Disputes

Boundary Lines
Breach of Leases
