At Ramey LLP our commercial litigation practice covers the following areas:
- Antitrust
- Complex Commercial Litigation
- Dispute Resolution
Antitrust
The purpose of antitrust law is to promote and maintain market competition by eliminating unfair competitive practices. While many boutique firms are not prepared to handle antitrust issues, Ramey LLP attorneys gained their antitrust experience at large regional and national firms. We handle government investigations, unfair competition, mergers and acquisitions, counseling, and civil and criminal litigation related to antitrust matters for small- to large-sized companies located worldwide.
Complex Commercial Litigation
Protecting your corporate assets is imperative. Ramey LLP attorneys are experienced litigators who know how protect your assets from infringement. We are also adept at defending your assets when you are unfairly accused of infringing on the intellectual property of others. IP disputes typically involve complex, technical issues and require attorneys who can respond quickly and decisively. Our technical and scientific backgrounds allow us to quickly grasp the technical aspects of your situation. We are responsive and ready to begin work on your case immediately.
Additionally, we have specialized experience in litigating disputes involving enterprise resource management (ERM) systems and supplier relationship management (SRM) systems. ERM proprietary software is used to manage all of a company's assets, and SRM proprietary systems are used to manage and track supplier interactions as well as their capabilities. These systems are integral in keeping today's companies on track and within budget. Ramey LLP attorneys have in-depth knowledge of the operation of these systems and are experienced at both establishing and protecting the ownership rights inherent in these proprietary software systems. We are also experienced in breach-of-contract suits related to the use of these systems.
Dispute Resolution
Disputes involving intellectual property issues are complex and expensive. These cases often land in federal courts where the resolution process is lengthy. Many companies seek quicker resolution to these issues. Ramey LLP attorneys are skilled in alternative dispute resolution, mediation and combination approaches that reduce expenses and time while providing satisfying solutions.
Our dispute resolution services include:
- Non-binding mediation
- Binding arbitration
- Resolution of international and multinational disputes
- Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy filings to recover domain names improperly registered
- Creation of cross-licenses and distribution agreements
- Assessments for acquisitions
- Neutral opinions assessing the strengths/weaknesses and potential settlement value of intellectual property cases
Every Ramey LLP litigation matter is assessed to determine if it would benefit from participation in the alternative dispute resolution process.
