Litigation has been a significant part of Jager Smith P.C.'s practice since the firm's founding.  Our lawyers represent clients at both the trial and appellate levels in courts in Massachusetts and throughout the United States.  We also appear before arbitration, mediation and other alternative dispute resolution forums.  In addition, we help clients respond to grand jury and regulatory agency investigations.

Jager Smith P.C.'s litigation practice encompasses a wide area of the law: contracts, business torts, real estate, environmental, construction, intellectual property, insurance coverage, taxation, lender liability, condemnation and white collar crime.  The firm's experience covers all phases of litigation, including injunctions, restraining orders, attachments and other forms of preliminary relief, motion practice, discovery, trials and appeals.

Our clients range from private individuals to business organizations such as corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies.  We have represented technology companies, e-commerce providers, health care companies, banks, insurance companies, manufacturers, distributors, contractors and real estate developers and operators.

Our attorneys are sensitive to a client's desire for efficient representation.  We have a depth of experience ranging from that of senior partners with more than 30 years' experience to newly admitted associates.  We are aided by litigation support personnel and also by the use of computerized document management systems and related technology.  We give considerable attention to the manner in which we staff our cases to achieve the greatest efficiency for the client.
