Commercial disputes and litigation are the backbone of Juliet’s practice and her expertise in employment law and fiduciary litigation arises from her commercial litigation background.  Juliet represents clients of all types and sizes in claims for breach of contract, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty and claims for unfair trade practices in violation of M. G. L. c. 93A.  She is frequently counsel in complex shareholder/partnership disputes in family-owned or closely-held businesses in matters relating to the operation and control of the business.   She is also experienced in advising on, and litigating, matters of corporate governance, including in start-up businesses and ventures.
