Commercial Litigation

For over 20 years, the Schain Law Firm has aggressively pursued commercial litigation matters throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.

From publicly traded institutions including Wells Fargo Bank, JP Morgan Chase Bank and Washington Mutual Bank, to municipal entities including the City of Philadelphia, to regional entities like the University of Pennsylvania, the Schain Law Firm has defended against and recovered sums ranging from thousands to millions.

From crafting “litigation avoidance” strategies, drafting effective demand letters, brisk litigation, through sheriff’s sales, the practice is dedicated to delivering swift, cost-effective results.

In 1999, the City of Philadelphia selected the Firm to restructure its bail surety system and pursue $1,045,000 in the notorious City of Philadelphia v. Gi Nam litigation.
