Experience the Excitement of Working at BerlikLaw: A Leader in Litigation and Business Disputes

BerlikLaw is a renowned law firm that focuses on obtaining favorable results for its clients, both inside and outside the courtroom. Led by AV-rated Virginia trial lawyer Lee E. Berlik, the firm is ranked in the top 3% of United States litigation firms. With a small team of "of counsel" attorneys, BerlikLaw has built a reputation for excellence in the legal field.

BerlikLaw has been recognized for its exceptional litigation lawyers in Virginia. Virginia Business Magazine included Berlik in its annual list of Virginia's Legal Elite in both 2012 and 2013, based on a survey of other Virginia attorneys. The firm is also included in Best Attorneys Online and was selected as one of the best intellectual property law firms in the Washington region in 2011.

What sets BerlikLaw apart is its philosophy of approaching each case as though it will be tried, not settled. While most cases should be settled, early trial preparation leads to better results, whether at the settlement table or in court. This approach sends a message to the other side that the outcome of the case will be guided by sound business considerations, not the fear of trial that other litigation firms have.

The firm's commitment to winning is tempered by business sense. BerlikLaw thoroughly analyzes clients' goals and approaches each piece of litigation with a carefully considered strategy designed to maximize results at a minimum of expense. Whether representing a Fortune 500 business or a single-member LLC, the firm counsels all clients in identifying risks, determining a course of action, and managing litigation costs.

BerlikLaw is a litigation boutique that devotes itself entirely to trial practice and the resolution of business disputes. The firm does not employ entry-level attorneys. Instead, it staffs each case with experienced, skilled trial lawyers, most of whom have backgrounds with large law firms in D.C. and Northern Virginia. Quality over quantity is emphasized, as the firm consistently strives to accomplish clients' objectives as efficiently as possible, keeping unnecessary paperwork to a minimum.

Berlik, the firm's founder, is renowned for his defamation expertise but also maintains an active business litigation practice covering a wide range of legal problems. From theft of trade secrets to breaches of contract and fiduciary duty, BerlikLaw is trusted by large companies and small businesses alike to take these cases to trial. The firm's affiliated "of counsel" lawyers also contribute their expertise, ensuring that complex issues are understood and presented in easy-to-understand language to judges and juries.

One of the firm's key strengths is its innovative, win-win billing arrangements. BerlikLaw recognizes that traditional billable-hour arrangements provide no predictability of cost for clients and often do not reflect the best value. To address these shortcomings, the firm offers blended rates, volume discounts, flat fees, contingency fees, capped fees, safety valves, success fees, and more. When billing by the hour, BerlikLaw does so at very reasonable rates.

Effective communication is vital to a successful attorney-client relationship, and BerlikLaw understands this. The firm takes calls and responds promptly to emails, usually within one business day. Clients receive reliable, responsive service and are involved at every step along the way. BerlikLaw answers questions, provides frequent status updates, and takes full ownership of the matters entrusted to them. Personalized service and top-quality work are delivered at very reasonable rates, allowing clients to reduce their company's legal costs.

Joining BerlikLaw means joining a team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about achieving the best results for their clients. The firm's commitment to excellence, innovative billing arrangements, and emphasis on quality over quantity make it an exciting and rewarding place to work.
