Van Cott & Talamante’s litigators are available to represent clients in hearing, pretrial, trial, and appellate stages in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies. Past litigation has included such diverse matters as complex multi-million dollar contract disputes, director and officer liability claims, accountant liability lawsuits, fidelity bond claims, lender-borrower disputes, insurance receivership matters, multi-million dollar fraud, conversion, fraudulent transfer, and civil RICO claims, securities fraud, insurance disputes, litigation involving high technology companies, buy and sell agreements, partnership disputes, real estate, bankruptcy matters, will contests, condemnations, interpretation of reinsurance contracts, agency agreements, administrative law proceedings, and discrimination cases.

The firm has aggressively positioned itself within the litigation community in the area of large-scale, complex commercial litigation through the use of computerized document automation technology. The firm has designed and implemented an automation process that puts on the desk of its attorneys the means to search, organize, and retrieve litigation documents without reliance on the customary legions of paralegals and law clerks who usually perform the tasks of document organization and retrieval. The use of computer technology has placed the firm on a fully competitive basis with larger firms, whether the case involves $10,000 or $100 million, and gives the firm a decided advantage in document-intensive litigation.
