Our Services
What we offer
Complex Commercial Litigation
Martínez-Cid Law lawyers have significant experience in representing clients in all types of breach of contract, shareholder disputes, fraud, fraudulent conveyance, tortious interference, unfair competition, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and other commercial actions in state and federal courts, as well as in arbitration proceedings.
Securities Litigation
Our lawyers have represented financial institutions, registered investment advisors, and clearing or sub-clearing firms in a variety of customer-initiated securities litigation. Whether the matter involves claims of suitability, misrepresentations, fraud, unauthorized trading, churning, failure to supervise, expungement or intra-industry promissory notes and whether the claims are before FINRA, arbitration panels, or the courts, our lawyers can handle it all.
International Dispute Resolution
Many matters handled by the Firm involve cross-border or international issues, be it whether a domestic court has jurisdiction over a party to an international arbitral dispute in a forum outside of the United States. We are well-versed in forum non conveniens issues, international service of process and discovery, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, domestication and enforcement of foreign judgments against U.S.-based assets, and the initiation of U.S.-based parallel proceedings to supplement litigation abroad. Be it ICC, ICDR, AAA, or ICSID, our lawyers have experience and the know-how needed to navigate those fora.
Appeals and Appellate Support
We serve our clients both through the trial level and appeal, and have been hired exclusively to handle their appeal. An uncompromising attention to quality buttressed by clerkship experience makes us well-suited to handle appellate issues of all stripes.
Media and Entertainment Law
Our Firm maintains a robust media and entertainment practice, dealing with the First Amendment, defamation, invasion of privacy, advertising and commercial speech claims, copyright and trademark issues, and misappropriation of name, image, and likeness on behalf of those who create or disseminate content.
Internal and Government Investigations
With experience in complex and cross-border investigations, coupled with a deep understanding of investigatory tools and how to leverage technology, we are well-suited to representing clients in internal and government investigations. Whether the investigation regards possible corporate theft, bribery, fraud, corruption, workplace misconduct or other compliance-related or reputational risks, our lawyers work to resolve the manner in an efficient and effective way.
Class Actions
Apart from the expertise in the underlying substantive law relevant to class actions, Martínez-Cid Law lawyers understand the strategic and procedural nuances specific to these kinds of cases. They are also well regarded by not only the bench, but also fellow class action practitioners for both plaintiffs and defendants.
