Ben Roach Email & Phone Number

I am a trial attorney whose practice focuses on labor and employment and commercial disputes. I rely upon problem-solving skills to serve my clients. When I get involved early on, before a situation is even in litigation, I try to find solutions to avoid the time, cost and distraction of a lawsuit.In his employment law cases, I typically represent employers—litigating, defending, and advising on employee terminations, discrimination, and retaliation issues. I have been involved in several employment and business disputes involving executives, professionals, and owner employees. I also have a particular focus on the legal aspects of non-compete agreements, non-disclosure agreements, and drug testing, subjects on which I have written articles and delivered many speeches. I represent employers in most industries, and have extensive experience with health care, financial and insurance clients. In my commercial dispute work, I aim to find the most efficient solutions to problems, rather than the most obvious ones. I help companies navigate contract disputes, shareholder disputes and almost any other situation that results in businesses or people being in conflict. I also represents lenders in cases involving collections, fraud allegations, and vendor issues. In all cases, I try to take a rational and reasonable look at the facts. While I will always be an advocate for my client, sometimes part of that process is taking a step back and seeing how a judge or jury might view the situation. I also work with a lot of great people who have great experience so that we can bounce ideas off each other. In all my cases, finding the right solution for clients takes precedence. There’s some type of problem, issue or dispute, and the goal is to find the best solution to it, The best solution is often different in every situation. Sometimes it may be presenting the best case at trial, other times it may be finding the best settlement, or finding the best solution that avoids the need for any type of litigation. I try to involve the client as much as possible so they’re part of the decision-making process and are fully aware of what’s at stake.Practice and Experience Areas: Employment Law; Litigation; Commercial Litigation; Non-compete agreements; Construction Litigation; leasing and loan litigation; data breach response and litigation.
