William Burton
Barnes & Thornburg LLP
I practice complex commercial litigation in Delaware's Court of Chancery and the Complex Commercial Litigation Division of Delaware's Superior Court. I regularly handle disputes between officers, directors, shareholders, investors, managers and members of all types of business entities. I also have experience in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, including being local counsel for complex intellectual property matters.
Whether you need assistance obtaining books and records from a corporation or limited liability company, filing a derivative action for breach of fiduciary duty, or anything in between, I can help! I am passionate about what I do and take on my client's issues and concerns as my own.
