Types of Commercial Litigation Cases We Handle

We regularly represent clients in litigation, arbitration, and mediation in the following areas:

Symbols of an antitrust case which is a type of commercial litigation case in Milwaukee.

Antitrust

Antitrust is an exceedingly complex area of the law, and it is easy for businesses and executives who aren’t familiar with all of the intricacies of anticompetitive jurisprudence to run into issues with both the regulators and their competitors. We have extensive experience in state and federal antitrust matters, and we represent all private parties to antitrust-related disputes.

Consumer Protection

Consumer production is another complicated area where businesses can quickly – and often unexpectedly – run into trouble. Wisconsin’s consumer protection laws cover everything from general marketing practices to industry and product-specific requirements, and often prove to be fertile grounds for individuals and regulators to take legal action against Milwaukee businesses.


Contract dispute, a type of commercial litigation case handled by an attorney in Milwaukee.

Contract Disputes

We represent all parties to contract-related disputes, including claims involving restrictive covenant violations and other breaches of contract. Unfortunately, even the most air-tight contract cannot prevent a party from failing to adhere to its obligations. If you need to enforce your contractual rights (or if you have been accused of a breach), we can assist you in seeking to negotiate a resolution; or, if necessary, in fighting to protect your interests in court.

Employment Litigation

We represent both employers and employees in employment litigation, including disputes involving allegations of discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, and other improper employment-related conduct. We can assist with contract-based employment disputes, as well.

Fiduciary Litigation

A number of parties can owe fiduciary duties in the business and commercial context, and those who owe fiduciary duties will often find themselves accused of failing to meet their legal obligations. At Kerkman & Dunn, we represent all parties to fiduciary litigation in the greater Milwaukee area and throughout Wisconsin.

Franchise Agreements and Regulatory Requirements

Franchising is a highly regulated industry, and Wisconsin is among the states that require franchisors to register their franchise opportunities before making offers for sale. Our legal team represents franchisors in regulatory enforcement matters and represents both franchisors and franchisees in litigation involving disclosure violations and franchise agreement disputes.

Insurance Coverage Disputes

Insurance coverage is often a hotly contested matter, with businesses and insurance companies regularly disagreeing over the claims asserted under fire, flood, automobile, E&O, and other insurance policies. We frequently represent clients in insurance litigation involving a wide variety of types of policies and claims.

Intellectual Property

Copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and trademarks are often among companies’ most valuable assets. Misappropriation and infringement can lead to substantial losses and must be addressed quickly in order to mitigate any harm. If a person or company is infringing on your intellectual property rights, or if you have been accused of misappropriation or infringement, it is important to seek legal representation with a knowledgeable Milwaukee commercial litigation attorney as soon as possible.

Securities Fraud

Our Milwaukee commercial litigation lawyer also handles cases involving accusations of securities fraud. Like antitrust and other complex areas, securities law is a web of complicated, and often confusing, regulations that require careful compliance in order to avoid exposure to liability. From offering unregistered securities to making misrepresentations and selling unsuitable investments, we are available to provide experienced representation for all types of securities fraud claims.
