Bondurant, Mixson & Elmore, LLP is one of the preeminent commercial litigation boutiques in the United States.

Indeed, nearly 40% of the firm’s partners are ranked among America’s Leading Lawyers for Business. Chambers and Partners, USA, an independent research organization, recently stated that “researchers were left in no doubt that this is the leading litigation boutique in town” and that “its team of almost 30 ‘elite lawyers’ is renowned for ‘getting tremendous results’.” In a 2004 survey of Georgia lawyers, 8 of the firm’s partners were ranked among the top 5% of attorneys in the state.

The firm’s outstanding reputation in commercial litigation stems directly from our many successes in this area, which include:

Winning a $454 million jury verdict – the largest verdict in Georgia history – for the plaintiffs in a breach of fiduciary duty action against Time Warner.
Obtaining a defense verdict for Wyle Laboratories that the National Law Journal recognized as one of the Top 10 defense verdicts of the year 2000. The firm successfully defeated the plaintiff’s claim for $150 million in damages.
Winning a defense jury verdict for Box USA on claims in which the plaintiff sought $120 million in damages.

Although many of our cases are tried to a judge or jury, our lawyers recognize that many commercial and contract disputes can be resolved at an early stage through thoughtful negotiation or mediation. Some of our more successful resolutions of contract disputes have involved innovative concepts that go beyond mere monetary exchange.

While we cannot list all of the types of commercial disputes we handle, these matters include:

- contract disputes;
- partnership disputes;
- fiduciary duty cases;
- fraud cases;
- securities cases;
- antitrust cases;
- RICO cases;
- shareholder disputes;
- franchisor/franchisee disputes;
- insurance coverage disputes;
- construction disputes;
- employer/employee disputes and covenants not to compete.
