Our Areas of Practice
Daniel Johnson
Commercial Litigation
Commercial litigation is a legal practice focused on resolving disputes between businesses or commercial entities through the court system. This area involves litigating issues such as contract breaches, business torts, intellectual property disputes, and other conflicts that arise within the context of commercial transactions and operations. Kaveh has spent his entire career litigating some of the most complex cases throughout the state.
Outside General Counsel Services
Outside general counsel services provide ongoing legal advice and support to businesses on various legal matters, offering guidance on contracts, compliance, and employment issues. This arrangement allows businesses to access legal expertise without the cost of maintaining an in-house legal team, often delivering tailored solutions, cost-effective legal assistance, and business guidance. As a small business lawyer who almost exclusively represents closely-held businesses, in addition to legal services, Kaveh has had the opportunity to bring business guidance and strategies to his clients. These services were only augmented by his time serving as general counsel to a multi-industry entrepreneur from 2021 to 2023.
Construction Disputes
Construction disputes involve conflicts within construction projects, encompassing issues like contract breaches, delays, defects, and disagreements over scope changes or payments. These conflicts typically require legal intervention through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation to address contractual, regulatory, and technical aspects. Kaveh’s experience with construction disputes began in earnest in 2007 with the onset of the economic collapse. Since then, Kaveh has represented property owners, builders, developers, underground contractors, asphalt and concrete pavers and other trades in various forms of construction-related disputes.
Real Estate Disputes
Real estate disputes arise from conflicts related to real estate development, property ownership, transactions, and agreements, covering issues like boundary disputes, landlord-tenant conflicts, defects, and zoning disagreements. Resolving these disputes often involves negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation to ensure proper adherence to property laws and fair resolution. Over his career, Kaveh has represented clients in property line, partnership, lender, landlord-tenant, and various other real estate areas. Kaveh has also represented clients in riparian (water) rights cases from the trial courts through the Court of Appeals and Michigan Supreme Court.
Dispute Resolution (Mediation & Arbitration)
Dispute resolution through mediation involves a neutral third party assisting conflicting parties in reaching a mutually agreed-upon solution without a formal court ruling. Arbitration, on the other hand, entails a neutral arbitrator or panel making a binding decision after considering evidence and arguments presented by the parties, providing an alternative to traditional litigation for resolving disputes. Our firm provides services in several facets of dispute resolution including mediation, arbitration, and discovery facilitation. Kaveh’s years of resolving litigation and business disputes have helped him develop the skills of diplomacy to objectively assist parties in resolving their disputes in creative and cost-effective ways.
Restrictive Covenants
Restrictive covenants are contractual clauses that impose limitations on actions or behaviors, such as non-compete, non-disclosure, and non-solicitation agreements. These clauses aim to safeguard proprietary information and trade secrets and typically involve legal interpretation and enforcement while balancing the interests of the parties involved. In Michigan and at the federal level, this is an ever-changing field. Kaveh has years of experience advising clients (both employers and employees) regarding the impact and potential consequences arising from the enforcement of restrictive covenants and, where necessary, litigating restrictive covenant cases in Michigan courts.
Shareholder/Member Disputes
Shareholder disputes involve conflicts among company shareholders, often centered around issues like corporate governance, decision-making authority, financial distributions, and allegations of mismanagement. These disputes can require legal resolution methods like mediation, arbitration, or litigation to protect shareholders’ rights. In Michigan, based on laws designed to protect minority shareholders and members of limited liability companies, the industry of litigating and resolving shareholder and member disputes has exploded over the past decade. Kaveh has been at the forefront of this industry.
