Winston and Winston P.C. has defended financial institutions and businesses for over 20 years before state, federal and bankruptcy courts directly in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and nationally.
Many businesses utilize form agreements with unconscionable or unenforceable terms. In some cases, we find that neither party truly understands the weaknesses and strengths of their cases. We utilize our experience in litigating these agreements to help our clients obtain quicker resolution of these matters. For example, some clients feel that just because the claim is irrational, they cannot lose. Other clients confidently believe that their contract is fool-proof, and will be strictly enforced by the court. In some jurisdictions, these expectations are fulfilled, but in other jurisdictions, unexpected results will develop. Due to our experience and knowledge of the law, we are better trained to anticipate these scenarios and develop solutions.
