Commercial and Civil Litigation

Litigation is the heart of our practice. We represent businesses in a wide array of civil disputes, ranging from breach of contract and fraud to trade secrets and unfair competition. Our attorneys are skilled in navigating the Leon County courts and the federal courts of the Northern District of Florida. We approach every case with a trial-focused mindset, meticulous preparation, and a deep understanding of procedural nuance. This aggressive posture often leads to favorable settlements, but we are always prepared to present a compelling case to a judge or jury if necessary to protect our clients’ interests.

Product Liability and Casualty

RumbergerKirk is nationally recognized for its Product Liability defense practice. We defend manufacturers and distributors against claims of defective design, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn. Our experience spans diverse industries, including automotive, marine, consumer appliances, and industrial equipment. We work with top engineering and scientific experts to deconstruct claims and prove the safety and integrity of our clients’ products. Additionally, our casualty litigation team handles catastrophic injury and wrongful death defense, working to limit liability and exposure for businesses facing serious lawsuits.

Employment and Labor Law

We provide comprehensive legal support to employers facing workforce challenges. Our employment law attorneys defend management in claims involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wage and hour disputes. We understand that employment lawsuits can damage a company’s reputation and morale. Therefore, we work discreetly and efficiently to resolve these matters. Beyond litigation, we counsel employers on compliance with federal and state labor laws, helping to draft handbooks and policies that prevent disputes before they arise. Our goal is to help you maintain a productive and compliant workplace.
