Milwaukee Business Litigation Attorney
There are a wide range of legal issues that can arise from the operation of a business.
While the attorneys in our Business & Financial Services Group work to resolve many issues before they escalate to litigation, KMK’s Business Litigators are prepared to step in when matters advance to court. Our attorneys understand that effective legal strategy must blend thorough legal analysis with the client’s business considerations. Our mission is to provide clients with clear and accurate assessments of the opportunities, risks, and costs associated with available options—always grounded in a deep understanding of their priorities and financial constraints.
We offer full representation to companies in administrative proceedings as well as state and federal courts, regularly handling cases at both trial and appellate levels, including class actions and disputes involving individual businesses. Additionally, we represent plaintiffs and defendants in both voluntary and compulsory arbitration and mediation. Our goal is to achieve the best possible outcomes, taking into account the economic realities in which our clients operate.
