Turner Dhillon’s business litigation practice spans a wide variety of industries and areas of the law, both at the trial and appellate levels in state and federal courts. 

 

Active Role
Turner Dhillon represents businesses, their principals, partners, officers, directors in contract disputes, employment matters, misrepresentation actions, unfair competition actions, product liability actions, environmental matters, and other business matters.  

 

Decades of Experience & Stellar Negotiators
Our attorneys also have decades of experience resolving cases by means of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and settlement on terms favorable to our clients. We have stellar negotiators who can reach deals that at first may have seemed impossible. Turner Dhillon understands that every client has its own tolerance for litigation, economically and otherwise. We work with clients across that spectrum – from those who want to avoid litigation all together to those who thrive on utilizing the courtroom to advance their goals. We always keep each of our client’s interests in this regard at the forefront. 

Turner Dhillon’s litigation practice includes class actions and other types of complex litigation, such as representative actions (including PAGA), and mass actions.
