Spangenberg Shibley & Liber: Effective Litigation Partners

Because Spangenberg is a trial practice law firm, corporate or personal business counsel often stay involved through the course of their client’s shareholder or partnership disputes. As litigation counsel, our Cleveland attorneys at Spangenberg investigate the matter thoroughly and develop litigation strategies designed to protect your assets and to maximize your recovery.

We recognize that, because significant assets are often tied in the business or partnership, stakeholders are often not able to pay large hourly fees out of pocket. A contingency or blended fee arrangement assures that a stakeholder will pay if and only if their litigation is resolved on agreed upon terms. This approach also aligns the interest of the client and the firm, assuring that you receive representation that is outcome driven, client focused and efficient.
