Mr. Riddle has been counsel in several high profile mortgage fraud cases as well as disputes involving commercial and golf course developments.
The Law Office of Scott B. Riddle represents clients in many aspects of complex commercial litigation, including:
- Contracts
- Trademark and trade secret disputes
- Corporate governance
- Derivative actions
- Business torts
- Partnerships and joint venture disputes
- Employment agreements
- Covenants not to compete
- Temporary Restraining Orders and other emergency injunctive relief
Many disputes occur at the stage of formation of corporate business entities or commercial ventures, or take place later due to poor planning and execution of the formation documents. Other disputes arise in the normal course of business, and can involve suppliers and vendors, customers and consumers, officers or shareholders, employees, or competitors. All of these disputes drain the resources of the company and take time and attention away from business operations. If left unresolved or unattended, they can ruin the company. Prompt and efficient action by a knowledgeable and skilled business litigation attorney is essential to resolving business disputes. Even where the dispute does not end in litigation, careful planning and a strong litigation posture are essential to a favorable settlement or other resolution.
In addition to the firm's litigation practice, Mr. Riddle represents clients in bankruptcy proceedings, representing debtors and creditors in individual bankruptcies and business bankruptcies and restructurings. Please see the bankruptcy page for further information.
