Kohn & Rath, LLP has an active and successful civil litigation
practice. We regularly litigate in many forums, including the
Vermont Superior Court, the Vermont Environmental Court, and the
United States District Court for the District of Vermont, in
addition to representing clients in adversarial proceedings before
the Public Service Board, the Vermont Environmental Board, local
land use regulatory bodies, and other administrative agencies. Our
attorneys are involved with a broad range of legal issues,
including:
Accidents, including victims suffering personal injury and the
estates of those killed.
Construction law, including representing contractors,
subcontractors, and owners in complex construction cases.
Employment law, including representing employees wrongfully
terminated and employers terminating problem employees.
Individuals and businesses accused of negligence and breach of
contract.
Individuals and businesses seeking to enforce contractual
obligations.
Individuals and businesses seeking to protect intellectual
property.
A wide range of other, individualized problems.
We are experienced negotiators and we believe that a critical
part of our civil litigation practice is helping clients to avoid
the courtroom when possible. However, we believe in aggressively
litigating when settlement is not our clients' best interests.
