Areas of Practice

Appellate

Stoll Berne has a strong team of appellate attorneys who can provide expert advice to clients should their litigation continue through appeal. The firm's attorneys have appeared before, and established law in, the United States Supreme Court, several federal circuit courts of appeal and the Oregon appellate courts.

Business Dispute Resolution and Litigation

Business people prefer to avoid litigation whenever possible. Accordingly, we resolve many business disputes without going to trial and frequently without even filing a lawsuit.

Business Transactions/Corporate Law

We act as general and special counsel to businesses engaged in a wide variety of industries, including finance, securities, technology, agriculture and health care. Our clients include individuals, investors and businesses of all kinds, from publicly held corporations to closely held businesses.

Class Action Litigation

We have earned a solid reputation as the leading plaintiffs' class action firm in Oregon. We have litigated numerous securities fraud class actions on behalf of investors.

Real Estate Law

We represent real estate developers, investors and financial institutions in a wide variety of real estate transactions and other matters.

Securities/Investor/Broker Litigation

During the past three decades, we have likely represented more investors in securities and stockbroker litigation and corporate disputes than any other law firm in Oregon. We have successfully handled a number of high-profile securities fraud class action suits on behalf of investors.

Trademark, Patent and Other Intellectual Property Litigation

We represent parties in trade secret, trademark, copyright, false advertising, unfair competition, defamation, medical research practice and related intellectual property matters.
