Mitch is a partner in the Litigation Practice Group. He has acted as litigation and general counsel to a wide variety of corporate, LLC and partnership clients, and as an advisor and trial counsel to corporate board members, board committees and other for-profit and nonprofit corporate fiduciaries.
Mitch's extensive experience in complex federal and state court litigation and private arbitration, covers areas such as shareholder and partnership disputes, director and officer liability, securities law violations, accountant's liability, insurance agreements, trust and estate disputes, intellectual property, non-compete agreements, trade secrets, real estate, banking and bankruptcy. An example of large-scale cases Mitch has handled is his successful defense of a former corporate director in a $400 million breach of fiduciary duty suit by the corporation's creditors following the company's bankruptcy reorganization - a decision that was upheld by the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
