Trial-Ready Representation
for Your Matter.

Common matters

• Wrongful Termination

  Utah is an at-will employment state, but that does not mean employers can fire you for any reason. If you were terminated in violation of a contract, public policy, or anti-discrimination law, you may have a claim. We represent both employees who have been wrongfully terminated and employers defending against such claims.

• Whistleblower Claims

  Federal and state law protect employees who report illegal activity, safety violations, or fraud from retaliation. We represent whistleblowers pursuing claims under OSHA, the False Claims Act, Sarbanes-Oxley, and Utah state law — and we represent employers responding to whistleblower allegations.

• Sexual Harassment

  Workplace sexual harassment — whether quid pro quo or a hostile work environment — is illegal under Title VII and Utah law. We represent individuals who have been harassed, as well as businesses navigating harassment complaints, investigations, and liability exposure.

• Sexual Assault & Battery

  When sexual assault occurs in the workplace or in connection with an employment relationship, victims have civil remedies beyond the criminal process. We pursue civil claims on behalf of survivors and advise employers on liability, response obligations, and risk mitigation.

• Discrimination

  Discrimination based on race, sex, age, religion, national origin, disability, pregnancy, or other protected characteristics is prohibited under Title VII, the ADA, the ADEA, and Utah law. We represent employees who have faced discrimination and employers defending against discrimination charges before the EEOC and in court.

Common matters

• Business Litigation & Transactions

  From breach of contract and partnership disputes to mergers, acquisitions, and asset sales, we handle the full range of business legal matters. We represent businesses and individuals in commercial litigation and transactions, providing strategic counsel from negotiation through trial.

• Regulatory Compliance & Licensing

  Businesses operating in regulated industries face complex federal and state compliance obligations. We advise businesses and individuals on licensing requirements, regulatory filings, agency investigations, and enforcement actions — helping you stay compliant and respond effectively when issues arise.

• Technology & Privacy

  Technology companies and businesses that collect or process personal data face evolving legal obligations under federal and state privacy laws. We advise on data privacy compliance, technology contracts, software licensing, and disputes involving intellectual property, data breaches, and digital assets.

• Business Formation, Organization & Planning

  Choosing the right business structure — LLC, corporation, partnership, or other entity — has significant legal and tax implications. We help individuals and businesses form, organize, and plan their enterprises, drafting the foundational documents that govern ownership, management, and succession.

• Business Counseling

  Sound legal counsel is essential at every stage of a business's life. We serve as trusted advisors to business owners and executives, providing practical guidance on day-to-day legal issues, strategic decisions, risk management, and dispute avoidance — before problems become litigation.

Common matters

• Employment & Labor Litigation

  Employment disputes that cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation require a trial lawyer. We take employment cases to jury trial in state and federal courts across Utah and the Mountain West — representing both employees and employers with the same relentless preparation and courtroom skill.

• Collective & Class Action Litigation

  When a single employer's unlawful practice affects a large group of employees or consumers, collective and class action litigation can be the most effective remedy. We represent plaintiffs in collective and class actions under the FLSA, Title VII, and state law — and we defend businesses against such claims.

• Business & Commercial Litigation

  Commercial disputes — breach of contract, fraud, unfair competition, and business torts — require lawyers who are willing and able to try cases. We represent businesses and individuals in complex commercial litigation from the first demand letter through verdict and appeal.

• Ownership & Shareholder Litigation

  Disputes between business owners, shareholders, and partners can threaten the survival of a company. We represent majority and minority owners, shareholders, and partners in disputes over governance, fiduciary duties, buyouts, oppression, and dissolution — in court and in arbitration.

• Non-Compete, Non-Solicitation & NDA Litigation

  Restrictive covenant litigation moves fast — injunctions, emergency hearings, and expedited discovery are common. We represent businesses seeking to enforce legitimate restrictions and individuals challenging overbroad agreements, with the trial experience to win at every stage.

Common matters

• Fraud, Abuse & Waste

  Health care fraud, abuse, and waste expose providers and businesses to civil and criminal liability under the False Claims Act, Anti-Kickback Statute, and state law. We represent providers and businesses under investigation or facing enforcement action, and we represent individuals and relators pursuing fraud claims against bad actors.

• Regulatory Compliance

  Health care providers and businesses operate under a complex web of federal and state regulations. We advise on compliance with HIPAA, the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, state licensing requirements, and other regulatory obligations — helping clients build compliant programs and respond to audits and investigations.

• Anti-Kickback, Referral & False Claims

  The Anti-Kickback Statute and Stark Law prohibit improper financial arrangements involving federal health care program referrals. Violations can result in False Claims Act liability, exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid, and criminal prosecution. We advise on compliance and represent clients in government investigations and litigation.

• Licensing & Credentialing

  Health care providers must maintain proper licensure and credentialing to practice and participate in insurance networks. We represent providers and businesses in licensing applications, renewals, disciplinary proceedings, and credentialing disputes with hospitals, health systems, and payers.

• Peer Review

  Hospital peer review proceedings can result in restriction or revocation of clinical privileges, with serious consequences for a provider's career and livelihood. We represent physicians and other providers in peer review hearings and appeals, ensuring fair process and protecting their professional rights.

Common matters

• Construction Disputes

  Construction disputes — including defective work, delay claims, payment disputes, and contractor-owner conflicts — can be complex and expensive. We represent property owners, developers, contractors, and subcontractors in construction litigation and arbitration, pursuing and defending claims through resolution.

• Contract Claims

  Real estate transactions are governed by contracts, and disputes over purchase agreements, development contracts, and property management agreements are common. We represent buyers, sellers, developers, and investors in real estate contract disputes, from demand through trial.

• Lien Foreclosures

  Mechanics' liens, judgment liens, and mortgage liens can cloud title and prevent property sales or refinancing. We represent contractors, subcontractors, and materialmen in filing and foreclosing mechanics' liens, and we represent property owners in challenging improper liens.

• Boundary Disputes

  Boundary disputes between neighboring property owners can involve survey conflicts, encroachments, adverse possession claims, and prescriptive easements. We represent individuals and businesses in resolving boundary disputes through negotiation, mediation, and litigation.

• Residential & Commercial Leases

  Lease disputes — including evictions, lease terminations, rent disputes, and landlord-tenant conflicts — arise in both residential and commercial contexts. We represent landlords and tenants in lease negotiations, disputes, and litigation, protecting their contractual rights and property interests.

Common matters

• Employee Handbooks

  A well-drafted employee handbook sets clear expectations, communicates company policies, and provides critical legal protections. We draft and update employee handbooks for businesses of all sizes, ensuring they comply with current federal and Utah law and reflect the company's culture and values.

• Privacy and Data Policies

  Businesses that collect, store, or process personal data must have clear, legally compliant privacy policies and data security practices. We draft privacy policies, data processing agreements, and data security plans that comply with applicable federal and state law and protect businesses from regulatory exposure.

• Offer Letters & Employment Agreements

  Offer letters and employment agreements define the terms of the employment relationship from day one. We draft and review offer letters, employment contracts, and executive agreements for businesses and individuals — ensuring clarity on compensation, duties, term, and post-employment obligations.

• Incentive Plans

  Equity compensation, bonus plans, and other incentive arrangements are powerful tools for attracting and retaining talent — but they must be carefully structured to achieve their goals and comply with tax and securities law. We design and draft incentive plans for businesses and advise executives on their rights under existing plans.

• Lease & Licensing Agreements

  Commercial leases and licensing agreements are complex contracts with long-term financial and operational implications. We negotiate and draft commercial leases, intellectual property licenses, software licenses, and other licensing arrangements for businesses and individuals — protecting their interests at every stage.
