Injunctions and Emergency Relief

Some disputes cannot wait for the normal litigation process to play out. Court action may be needed within days, or even hours, to prevent harm that cannot be repaired later.

We help clients pursue and defend emergency relief. Our work includes temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and other expedited court proceedings. We also advise clients when emergency action may be needed to prevent further harm or respond to claims filed by another party.

Injunction matters involve unique rights and harms that cannot be compensated with money, and often arise when key employees switch jobs and confidential business information is at risk. They may also involve the misappropriation of trade secrets, solicitation of customers/clients or current employees by a former employee, business divorce, or urgent conflicts between businesses or among business partners. Early decisions can shape the direction of the dispute.

We help clients evaluate the legal standard and gather the evidence needed to support their position, whether they are seeking or defending against an injunction. We also prepare for and handle hearings that are routinely scheduled within days of filing and move on an accelerated schedule.

These matters often require more than a litigation strategy alone. Whether the dispute involves employment, construction, intellectual property, or business litigation issues, we bring the right attorneys into the matter quickly.

Whether you need to seek immediate court intervention or respond to a request for emergency relief filed against you, we help you understand the risks, chart the best possible course for you and your business, and act with urgency.
