Mission Statement
Our goal - no matter what is at stake or how complicated the controversy -
is to provide value to our clients through effective representation. In
addition to being experienced advocates, we are adept at solving problems
and creating opportunities.
Our preparation is thorough, leading to creative strategies and increased
opportunities for clients to prevail either achieving victory in court,
obtaining a favorable settlement, or avoiding litigation in the first
instance.
The high-quality representation we provide is the result of a combination of
important factors: substantial trial and appellate court experience; broad
substantive legal knowledge; advanced technology and a culture of
commitment to client service.
Whether clients need their cases tried before a judge, jury or argued on
appeal whether they want an assessment of litigation risk, strategies to
avoid litigation or advocacy in alternative dispute resolution Vivoli &
Associates has the talent and resources to assist.
Vivoli & Associates provides effective legal representation. We are
committed to achieving a complete understanding of clients¹ businesses and
we serve clients on the basis of their individual and specific needs.
We provide high-value representation for a wide range of matters, thereby
reducing the complexities and expense of retaining multiple law firms.
The attorneys of Vivoli & Associates are selected based on their relevant
experience, legal and business knowledge, understanding of client businesses
and industries, demonstrated ability to work effectively and efficiently
with other client advisors, and ability to serve on a complete
service-oriented team. Our goal is to ensure clients receive the
highest-quality professional service, provided in a thoughtful and
responsive manner.
In developing strategic litigation plans for clients, we draw upon our
knowledge of a wide variety of businesses and industries and our
understanding of client needs. This enables us to better plan, manage and
deliver results. The number of clients who request to have cases reassigned
to Vivoli & Associates from other law firms validates this approach.
We provide an early assessment of the matters brought to us, along with a
detailed plan and budget for achieving the results clients seek.
We understand that effective representation requires controlling the costs
of litigation. In fact, our clients enjoy a decided advantage in
litigation, as we efficiently weather the storm of litigation for a fraction
of the cost of other firms, and almost always our adversaries.
Through it all, we follow these simple ³rules of the road²:
- An assessment must realistically evaluate the merits of a cause of action
or defense.
- A plan must be focused and comprehensive, but of sufficient flexibility to
adjust to changing circumstances.
- A budget must be realistic in its development, and used as a management
tool in handling the case or matter.
- Staffing decisions must be made in the interests of the client, and be
appropriate to the size and complexity of the matter.
Effective representation requires an understanding of your objectives and
how to achieve them. The litigation process involves constant and evolving
calculations of costs and benefits and of risks and rewards. Judgment and
experience are essential to receiving the representation you want.
Effective representation requires determination and sustained effort. At
Vivoli & Associates clients receive vigorous advocacy.
Controversy can be a threat, an opportunity, or both. Clients can depend on
Vivoli & Associates as problem solvers and as creators of opportunities. The
cornerstones of our effectiveness are: substantive experience over a broad
range of legal disciplines; demonstrated trial and appellate skills;
geographic coverage; advanced technology; and clear and responsive
communications.
