Some disputes cannot wait for a trial. A court order can stop a former partner from taking clients, freeze an asset, keep a payor from terminating a contract, or lift restraints that are crippling a business.

We act for both sides of emergency applications, including:

• Temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions

• Orders to show cause and opposition to temporary restraints

• Relief in aid of arbitration

• Asset preservation and receiverships

• Enforcement of and defense against restrictive covenants

Speed matters, but so does a sound legal basis. We tell you early whether emergency relief is realistic and what it will take.
