COMMERCIAL LAW

Commercial litigation expertise has long been a hallmark of Blackstone & Kirkland. Depth of courtroom experience and a partical approach enable us to provide clients with comprehensive and cost-effective approaches to litigation.

Whether at the negotiating table, in the courtroom or before an international arbitration tribunal, Blackstone & Kirkland handles a broad array of business disputes, including claims for breaches of supply agreements, asset purchase agreements and other breach of contract actions.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Whether through litigation in the courts or challenges at the patent office, we partner with our clients to find creative solutions for their intellectual property issues.

Blackstone & Kirkland litigators try cases before judges, juries and regulatory bodies. We represent clients before state and federal courts, the United States International Trade Commission, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We also help our clients with both offensive and defensive post-grant review proceedings.
