They pull founders away from the company.
- 02
Distract executives.

Delay deals.
- 04
Strain relationships.
- 05
And create uncertainty when the business needs decisive action.

Discuss a matter02 / A different model
The litigators you want are finally within reach.
When the stakes are high, you want lawyers trained at the country’s leading firms, law schools, and federal courts.
Historically, that caliber of representation came with armies of associates and legal bills only the largest companies could absorb.
AI has changed what exceptional representation requires.
De Novo gives you direct access to senior litigators who can master the record, develop the strategy, and move the matter forward without the cost and layers of Big Law.

03 / COMMERCIAL DISPUTES
When the business is at risk, experience matters.
Contract disputes
A customer refuses to pay. A vendor fails to deliver. A partner walks away from its obligations. The parties disagree over performance, termination, or indemnification.
Founder and ownership disputes
Founders, shareholders, members, or investors disagree over control, compensation, fiduciary duties, or ownership.
Technology and intellectual-property disputes
A former employee, competitor, licensee, or business partner misuses software, data, trade secrets, confidential information, or work product.
Customer, vendor, and partnership disputes
An important commercial relationship breaks down and threatens revenue, operations, or the company’s reputation.
Fraud and unfair competition
Another party uses deception, interference, or confidential information to gain an unfair commercial advantage.
From the first threat through negotiation, litigation, arbitration, and resolution.
