Practice Areas
Robinson Curley & Clayton, P.C. provides broad-based litigation services to corporations, other legal entities and individuals in a variety of practice areas.
Commercial Litigation
Business disputes can be extremely disruptive to the entities and individuals involved, draining resources and attention from the business's core mission, and in some instances, threatening its very existence.
Employment
Workplace disputes are taxing on employers and employees alike. For employers, these conflicts drain resources and divert attention from their business. For employees, disputes with employers can be highly stressful, as livelihoods are threatened and important protected rights hang in the balance.
Receiverships and Insolvency
The goal of our insolvency practice is to plan and execute cost-effective asset recovery strategies for our liquidator, receiver, and trustee clients, so they can maximize the assets of their estates. We have demonstrated time and again our ability to do so.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property rights are essential components of many business and creative enterprises. Creators and innovators of all types, from individuals to large corporate entities, have valuable intellectual property assets that must be secured and protected. For many, these assets are key to their economic survival.
