In conjunction with our professional liability practice,
LITCHFIELD CAVO litigators have the special expertise
to defend officers, directors, or business entities when sued in
civil actions by shareholders, other investors (such as limited
partners), or a wide variety of third parties. Officers and directors
are increasingly targeted for their actions, or alleged failures
to act, by plaintiffs suffering losses in a wide variety of contexts.
In bringing such suits, plaintiffs rely not just on common law theories

remedies arising in such areas as securities law, civil rights law,
environmental law, or food and drug law.
General examples of suits we have defended include: |
