Commercial Litigation

Litigation is sometimes a cost of doing business. Cranfill Sumner & Hartzog’s business practice group strives to advise clients in ways to avoid litigation, while at the same time ensuring that they are prepared in the event of a law suit.

• Sales and purchases of assets
• Private equity
• Restructuring and reorganizations

Our Difference

Our mid-market model enables us to offer the knowledge and experience found at large law firms (like the ones our attorneys used to work for) at very competitive rates. We don’t have the overhead expenses of large firm administration and we pay reasonable salaries to inexperienced, junior attorneys, so we can offer high-level advice and skills to you at much lower cost.

Our model also allows for flexible billing arrangements, including flat fee, hybrid fee and, under certain circumstances, contingency fee agreements. Regardless of the arrangement, we efficiently manage budgets for every matter and, above all else, pride ourselves on being available – and responsive – to you.
