Labor and Employment

Business Litigation

Sometimes, the only way to protect your business is to fight for it. When diplomacy fails, commercial disputes are often resolved in court.

He uses his extensive experience to facilitate compromise for litigants in cases involving employment discrimination, civil rights, ADA compliance, and business conflicts.

ELG’s philosophy to the practice of law is that of Omotenashi.

O-MO-TE-NA-SHI

[oh moh te’nah she]

In business contexts, Omotenashi is a Japanese term that refers to the practice of anticipating and fulfilling the needs of clients with sincerity and grace. It emphasizes empathy, attention to detail, and a commitment to exceeding expectations.
