Corporate Dispute
A Highly Strategic Litigation and Defense System
for Resolving Complex Legal Conflicts Between Companies
Disputes with business partners, shareholder and management control disputes, IP disputes such as trade secret infringement, non-performance of contracts and claims for damages are more than legal disagreements encountered in the course of running a business: they are serious management crises that bear directly on whether a company survives. Unlike the market of the past, driven by capital and scale, today's knowledge-based business environment makes the litigation capability to protect ideas and specialized technology a company's essential line of defense. MAST intervenes actively from the earliest stage of a dispute, when the first signs of conflict appear, analyzing the matter from every angle and designing the most practical and clearly defined winning strategy for your company.
Disputes in sectors where complex human and physical structures combine with large amounts of capital — entertainment, content media and emerging IT technologies — call for an even more refined approach to the law. Combining insight into corporate law with extensive experience in large-scale litigation, MAST offers an unwavering and consistent partnership extending from responses to administrative regulatory sanctions through civil and criminal disputes to provisional remedies. MAST's firm principle in litigation is to avoid the pointless repetition of procedure and to place in our clients' hands the most realistic and substantive relief the courts can deliver.
