Business Disputes

Managing risks and resolving disputes are normal functions for businesses of every size and description. From small family-owned companies to multinational conglomerates, the same legal principles apply. And while we don’t recommend taking every dispute to trial, we believe that the strength of a client’s bargaining position hinges on their adversaries’ view of the opposing attorneys. Our litigators have decades of experience in the courtroom, representing clients in state and federal courts in Texas and across the nation.

Product Liability

Atwood Gameros has deep experience in the defense of products with respect to claims of design, manufacturing, and marketing defects. We believe that by developing a thorough understanding of the product involved and working closely with key company personnel and outside experts, we can efficiently and effectively defend claims against any product. For more than a decade, our firm has served as national coordinating counsel for a manufacturer of respiratory protection products — managing multijurisdictional product liability claims with a steadfast approach.

State & Local Taxation

While very similar to business litigation in the way clients analyze the issues, tax disputes have their own unique jargon and legal concepts. We’re firm believers that the presentation of any tax dispute to a decision maker — from administrative law judge to federal court — benefits from the involvement of an experienced trial lawyer who not only knows how to try cases, but understands the underlying tax issues as well. We’ve worked side by side with tax professionals to litigate state and local tax disputes, providing Atwood Gameros with valuable insights into this dynamic area of law.

Construction Litigation

Construction litigation has always been an area of special interest at Atwood Gameros, and we’ve had the privilege of working on numerous construction-related litigation matters over the years. Among the most high profile were cases involving construction of a nuclear power plant and the failure of the Superdome roof during Hurricane Katrina. We are prepared to guide our clients through arbitration or trial as needed. We also realize that the goal of any construction project is not to spend years in court, but to successfully complete the project. Our attorneys can assist with contract drafting and review to help clients head off potential issues. We can also help clients explore efficient, cost-effective paths toward resolution when disputes do arise.

Toxic Tort

Partly as a result of their work as national coordinating counsel for a manufacturer of respiratory protection products, the lawyers of Atwood Gameros have been very involved in defending clients from toxic tort claims. We’ve defended claims involving exposure to silica, cadmium, beryllium, asbestos, benzene, and other contaminants.
