Litigation

Broad experience with a focused approach

Headed by litigators Michael Kopsick and Chris Bowen, KKC’s talented litigation team of qualified attorneys and paralegals are skilled in resolving complex disputes across the fields of Business, Construction, Probate, Real Estate, and more. Our team has extensive trial experience and an established track record of success both in our state and federal courts, as well as out of court in alternate dispute resolution settings, such as arbitration and mediation.

Our team’s experience can even go beyond current disputes with our counsel extending to situations where it best serves our clients to prevent potential or future claims. In such instances, we have the experience and know-how to prepare the proper documentation, conduct investigations, and carry out internal audits.

KKC’s litigation lawyers most often represent our clients in the Superior Courts in Tolland, Hartford, Middlesex, and New Haven Counties, but frequently travel to all other Connecticut county courthouses. Though most trial work occurs in the state’s courts, our trial experience includes Housing Court, the United States Bankruptcy and Federal District Courts, Probate Court, as well as administrative forums, like the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, and the Connecticut Department of Banking. We also represent clients who appeal adverse decisions to the Connecticut Appellate and Supreme Courts

Our Experience in Business Litigation

The types of matters our business litigation team typically handle include:

  • Negotiating or litigating “business breakups,” representing one or more co-owners of a closely held business against others.
  • Representing employers, and sometimes employees, in connection with employment disputes, such as discrimination claims, wage disputes and contract rights.

  • Protecting our clients from unfair trade practices, unfair competition, and misappropriation of their trade secrets and computer data.

  • Enforcing creditors’ rights to their payments and their secured collateral.

  • Assisting landlords and property owners in commercial lease disputes and claims arising from failed real estate transactions.

  • Helping families and fiduciaries with estate, trust and power of attorney disputes

Considering I had a ‘sticky’ situation and needed someone I could place my confidence in to resolve it – Chris Bowen was amazing. From start to finish he was always responsive and helpful. I was very pleased and would definitely recommend him to anyone needing legal services.
