NOVASTRA LEGAL·COMMERCIAL & COMPLEX LITIGATION·DOCKET NO. NL-000000

Most disputes settle. We prepare every one as if it won't.

Novastra Legal represents companies and individuals in high-stakes commercial litigation, arbitration, and appeals. We build the record early and thoroughly — because a case that's genuinely ready for trial is the one most likely to resolve without it.

Practice Areas — Exhibits A–F

Where we take the record.

Six areas of focused litigation practice, each staffed by attorneys who try cases in it — not generalists spread thin.

EXHIBIT A

Commercial Litigation

Contract disputes, partnership breakdowns, and business-to-business claims, from first filing through verdict.

EXHIBIT B

Complex Disputes & Business Torts

Fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, trade secret, and unfair competition claims with multi-party, multi-jurisdiction stakes.

EXHIBIT C

Arbitration & Mediation

Domestic and cross-border arbitration under AAA, ICC, and JAMS rules, plus mediated resolution where it serves the client.

EXHIBIT D

Appellate Advocacy

Briefing and oral argument before state and federal appellate courts, including matters we did not try at the trial level.

EXHIBIT E

White-Collar & Regulatory Defense

Government investigations, enforcement actions, and internal inquiries requiring discretion as much as advocacy.

EXHIBIT F

Class Action & Mass Tort Defense

Defense-side strategy for companies facing class certification, coordinated proceedings, and aggregate exposure.

The Case Method

How a matter moves through this firm.

The same five stages, whether the matter resolves in month three or reaches a jury in year two.

01

Investigation & Assessment

We establish the facts, the exposure, and the realistic range of outcomes before recommending a path.

02

Strategy & Theory of the Case

Every matter gets a written theory — the story we'd tell a jury — even if a jury never hears it.

03

Filing & Motion Practice

Pleadings and early motions are drafted to narrow the dispute to what actually matters.

04

Discovery & Fact Development

Depositions and document review are built around the theory, not run as a routine exercise.

05

Trial, Arbitration, or Resolution

We negotiate from a position of readiness, and we try the case when that's what serves the client.

Track Record

Twenty years of matters, in brief.

Figures reflect firm history across trial, arbitration, and negotiated resolution. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
