Litigation

The members of Radcliff & Saiki, LLP are thoroughly experienced and highly-regarded trial lawyers, practicing law in both state and federal courts and in the administrative law courts throughout California, with a particular emphasis upon business, commercial, casualty, insurance coverage, and professional liability litigation.

The lawyers of Radcliff & Saiki, LLP have handled all phases of litigation and commonly accept referrals from other lawyers on the eve of trial, taking such cases to verdict or judgment. We are frequently called upon by clients to assist other law firms both in preparing for trial and at trial itself. It is that depth of experience and that in-the-courtroom trial perspective that characterizes the firm's approach to and handling of all litigation matters, from the early shaping of strategy to the actual development of evidence in conformance with foreseeable and anticipated jury instructions, minimizing or altogether avoiding the wasteful and inefficient practices so common to much of the litigation process. Such approach makes Radcliff & Saiki, LLP the law firm of choice for medium and large businesses confronted with the need to defend against litigation or to pursue litigation against another business.

The majority of the business and commercial litigation are suits brought by businesses against other businesses. The firm has handled a wide variety of issues in this area including protection of trade secrets, interference with business relations, trademark and copyright infringement, unfair competition claims, contract disputes, commercial lease disputes, antitrust and securities claims, creditors' remedies, dealer termination disputes, and lender liability claims.

Insurance related litigation has included both major casualty defense as well as bad faith litigation. The firm’s attorneys have handled matters ranging from professional liability defense, legal malpractice, real estate agent and broker malpractice, premises liability, products liability, medical malpractice, directors & officers liability, major casualty defense, and general liability defense, to name a few of the myriad of areas that arise in connection with insurance.
