Dana W. Chilson

Overview

Dana primarily focuses her practice on representing commercial and business clients in complex contract disputes and other business matters.

Dana has particular experience in counseling on shareholder and corporate rights, as well as litigating business divorces. A large part of her practice involves representing clients in urgent matters requiring injunctive relief and coordinating resources to ensure client needs are met in emergencies. Dana routinely handles contract, non-competition, corporate governance, and other emergent business disputes requiring immediate injunctive relief. She also regularly counsels clients on insurance coverage issues and disputes.

Dana’s view of any dispute, whether purely business or involving family matters, is practical. Dana counsels clients on every aspect of a case and advises on how to approach a situation to achieve the best possible result, whether that means going to court or facilitating an out-of-court resolution. Much of Dana’s practice includes pre-litigation and/or pre-deal strategy, so that the matter can be set up for ultimate success and handled in the most efficient, cost-effective manner possible. While she appreciates that not every client desires to litigate, Dana is, at heart, a trial lawyer and is not afraid to handle a matter before a court, a mediator, or an arbitrator.
