Serving You

Wyatt’s team of litigators has the experience necessary to handle any commercial dispute, no matter how complex.

Our clients have included a wide array of publicly traded and closely held companies of all sizes; executives and employees of those companies; professional firms; government contractors; both national and regional financial institutions; many departments of local, state, and federal government; the past four Kentucky governors; a state supreme court justice; and Muhammad Ali, just to name a few.

Wyatt’s business litigators are exclusively focused on getting the best results possible for you, whether that means giving advice to help avoid litigation altogether, finding the path to settlement or alternative resolution that minimizes exposure, or trying a case to verdict and seeing it through on appeal.  We believe any representation starts with gaining an understanding of your business and the challenges you face.  Then we partner with you to achieve your goals.
