We Handle High-Stakes Commercial Cases on Contingency
Not every commercial dispute qualifies for contingency fee representation — and we want to be direct about that upfront. Kelley|Uustal accepts commercial litigation on contingency only when the potential recovery is in the tens of millions of dollars. At that level, the economics of contingency representation work for both the client and the firm. For smaller disputes, traditional hourly counsel will almost always be a better fit.
If your case clears that threshold, our model offers something most business litigation firms cannot: the ability to pursue major commercial claims without paying attorney fees by the hour — and without having to outspend a well-funded opponent just to stay in the fight. We have successfully handled high-value contingency commercial cases across a range of dispute types, including:
Contract-Related Disputes
• Professional Negligence
• Class Action
• Civil Rights
• Defamation
• Statutory Violations
• Qui Tam / Whistleblower
• Business Torts
• Lender Liability
• Corporate Shareholder and Member Disputes
• Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices / Unfair Competition
