Dispute Resolution
Adkisson Pitet commands attention as a disputes boutique with notable capabilities in commercial, intellectual-property and appellate litigation. Market feedback highlights the firm's strong advocacy skills, with one source remarking, "These lawyers are superb writers, oral advocates and communicators to courts, juries, clients and counsel." Another described the firm as providing "Totally professional and top tier service."

Christopher Pitet, managing partner of the firm's Newport Beach, California office, leads its commercial litigation practice. He represents Tropare in the ongoing, high-stakes trade-secrets dispute Dun & Bradstreet v. Tropare, Inc., valued at more than $109 million. Working alongside California-based appellate partner Joseph Busch, Pitet has secured summary adjudication on a critical claim. Pitet also achieved a complete defense result in Wang v. 360 Capital Ventures, Inc., a relatively unusual trial of alter-ego liability, and led Timanus v. Ybarra, securing a complete jury verdict for the plaintiff and defeating the defendants' cross-complaint. Sources are particularly complimentary of Pitet's advocacy, stating, "Chris is a fantastic litigator in oral arguments as well as writing motions." Another highlighted his "Fantastic direct approach to litigation."
Jay Adkisson, based in Nevada, focuses on debtor-creditor disputes and contributes to the firm's referral network.
