COMMERCIAL LITIGATION
Weir &
Associates have represented clients in various commercial cases. We have the ability to effectively and
cost-effectively bring our specialized experience to bear in any litigation
situation.
Our solicitors
have extensive experience with alternative dispute resolution as well, we have had great success with a variety of
motion. Our clients often seek
alternatives to conventional litigation to resolve their disputes. We have experience helping them
determine if and when mediation, mini-trials, arbitration and other forms of
alternative dispute resolution are appropriate.
Our philosophy is to counsel clients
on the avoidance of litigation. We
analyze every case and recommend which should be settled and which should be
tried, and then try those cases that we determine, with our clients, cannot be
settled satisfactorily. At the same time, we seek creative ways to resolve the
actions in which our clients are involved as quickly as possible.

We believe that
litigation should not be an end in itself, but rather should be just one
possible alternative in a process that leads to a prompt and economically
sensible resolution of a dispute. We spend considerable time counseling clients
on avoidance of litigation and we consistently seek creative ways to resolve
the actions they become involved in as quickly as possible.
