Business Litigation

When businesses become defendants, or need action in court to resolve disputes with others, Stinnett & Masters stands ready to assist. Juries can be trusted with courtroom counsel able to simplify and explain complex transactions. Our experience includes trial victories and favorable resolutions in lawsuits involving insurance, employment, oil and gas, real estate, probate, trust, breach of contract, corporate governance, and commercial disputes.

Business Torts Defense

Business tort claims strike at the core integrity of business owners and managers. Allegations of fraud, misrepresentation, tortious interference with contracts or business opportunities, deceptive or unfair trade practices, defamation, and conspiracy are, by their nature, unsettling and potentially ruinous for companies or individuals and their reputations. Stinnett & Masters defends (and if needed pursues) those who stand so accused.

Complex Litigation

Jumbled facts, complicated legal claims, unclear precedent, unusual scenarios – these are arenas in which we thrive! For more than 30 years, partner Mark Stinnett has been a go-to lawyer in his firms for the odd or out-of-the-ordinary cases that present with challenging issues of law and fact and no clear path to successful resolution. We pride ourselves on digging for the key facts and thinking "outside the box" to develop persuasive presentations for our clients.

Arbitration

Arbitration cases demand careful preparation and effective presentations because of their unique rules, limitations on judicial review, and restrictions on discovery. As advocates in these proceedings, Stinnett & Masters attorneys bring the same passion for persuasion that we do in trial. Partner Mark Stinnett has also served as an arbitrator for a national arbitration organization.
