Business and Corporate Litigation

A majority of the firm's attorneys are engaged in a litigation practice and we can draw from a variety of sources within the firm for assistance and advice. The size of our firm allows us to take on complex class actions lawsuits, such as a complex securities class action lawsuit, while also handling relatively straightforward cases involving collections of accounts and commercial contracts. We have represented clients in business disputes and in disputes between and among shareholders and corporations, in state and federal courts. Litigators from Hunter Higgins have been seen actively litigating cases across the State of North Carolina involving leases, dissolutions of business, breaches of fiduciary duties, covenants not to compete and valuations of business and property.
