We are business litigators who are not afraid of litigation.
While our traditional litigation base is centered on plaintiffs' wrongful death and personal injury, we also handle select commercial disputes. The biggest difference between the business litigators at Davis Adams and other law firms practicing traditional "commercial litigation" is that we are willing to—and do—take business cases to trial. Frequently, parties in business litigation are represented by large firms or corporate-type lawyers who may be proficient at providing business or tax advice, but who are rarely prepared to present a case to a jury. We, however, are trial lawyers, first and foremost
Another factor that sets Davis Adams apart from other law firms is that we handle business litigation on a contingency basis; that is, we receive a percentage of the recovery at the conclusion of the case as opposed to an hourly fee. Commonly, an individual or business starts out paying lawyers on an hourly basis, only to see the legal fees exceed the initial litigation budget, or sometimes even the amount being sought through the lawsuit, which defeats the purpose of hiring counsel and pursing litigation. Our firm’s willingness to advance case-related expenses and litigate on a contingency basis often provides an attractive option for clients unable or unwilling to retain counsel on an hourly basis
We have successfully represented clients in the following types of business cases:
- business torts (such as fraud, misrepresentation, and breach of fiduciary duty);
- breach of contract;
- negligent construction
- violations of federal and state antitrust law; and
- insurance bad faith.
Our most recent business litigation success story...
"Three law firms had already turned down my case by the time I met with Davis Adams, but they took my case on a contingency basis and immediately got to work. Chad Adams and Jess Davis determined that the highly complex series of land transfers in which my business partners had secretly engaged resulted in a breach of fiduciary duty that cost my company more than $13 million. Even though they took my case on a contingency basis, they invested more than $100,000 of their own money to prepare the case for trial, including finding the best experts in the country to testify on my behalf. The week before trial my former business partners agreed to settle the case to avoid trial. Throughout the process, Jess and Chad were more than my lawyers, they became my friends and proved not only to be outstanding lawyers, but good folks as well." J.P., Gulf Shores, Alabama
Our team strategy maximizes client service and case results.
At Davis Adams, all cases are handled jointly by Jess Davis and Chad Adams. This collaborative, team approach distinguishes our firm from most others, where work is largely handled by a single, less experienced associate (or sometimes a non-attorney "case manager"), and where experienced trial lawyers only get involved in the later stages of the case, if at all. Our clients profit from our hands-on team approach because from the very start they get the collective time, attention, energy, and experience of the attorneys who will be handling their case at trial, which translates to better results.
