Tailored Defense Strategies for Out-of-State Companies
When defending out-of-state clients, we employ a two-pronged approach to achieve the best outcomes:
- Defending the Case on Its Merits: Building a strong defense to counter the claims brought against you.
- Using Jurisdictional Defenses: Challenging the New York court’s authority to hear the case.
Jurisdictional Defenses in New York Litigation
For a New York court to assert jurisdiction over an out-of-state company, the plaintiff must prove a significant connection between the defendant and the state. Our attorneys are highly experienced in:
- Identifying weak or insufficient jurisdictional claims.
- Filing motions to dismiss cases early in the process.
By successfully challenging jurisdiction, we can force the plaintiff to bring the case to your home state—creating logistical and financial obstacles for the opposing party. In many cases, this tactic effectively ends the litigation altogether.
Protecting Businesses from Nuisance Lawsuits
At Hacker Murphy, we understand the disruption that frivolous or meritless lawsuits can cause. Our highly skilled legal team is dedicated to shielding clients from such claims by:
- Leveraging jurisdictional defenses to have cases dismissed.
- Employing effective negotiation and mediation to resolve disputes quickly.
- Preparing for aggressive litigation when necessary.
Our reputation as preeminent trial lawyers often encourages opposing parties to settle or drop unfounded claims.
