The attorneys at Ogborn Mihm have decades of experience representing businesses in high-stakes commercial litigation and contract disputes. Our clients represent a wide spectrum of individuals and businesses – from large, multinational corporations to individual private investors – involved in a wide variety of business disputes, ranging from oral agreements gone awry to the breach of complex written agreements involving multiple parties.
