Litigation
Our litigation attorneys handle jury and non-jury trials in state and federal courts in Tennessee and the Mid-South area, and actively practice before state and federal appellate courts. Our litigation practice includes commercial and contract matters, employee benefits and employment cases, premises liability, securities, insurance, negligence, personal injury, workers' compensation, health care, tax, probate, administrative disputes, real property, construction, and intellectual property.

Increasingly, our clients are turning to alternative forms of resolving disputes such as mediation and arbitration. Often, disputes can be resolved quickly and efficiently using these alternatives, resulting in significant cost savings. We can assist you in evaluating the benefits of pursuing such alternative dispute resolution.
