A dedicated client advocate, Mhare is a trusted advisor and experienced litigator who brings assertiveness and strategic thinking to his handling of complex commercial disputes.
With clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies, Mhare represents client interests in both state and federal courts. He focuses much of his practice on complex, high-stakes commercial litigation and business disputes, particularly breach of contract allegations, as well as matters involving real estate; corporate ownership; breach of fiduciary duty; unfair business practices; unfair competition; and threats to trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual property. Mhare litigates cases in jurisdictions across the country, often working on behalf of massive organizations with national dockets. His practice is national in scope and includes representation of litigants on both sides of the aisle as plaintiffs and defendants.
While many cases settle—often on the eve of trial—Mhare has solid experience in the courtroom and is always prepared to take a case to trial. He has won favorable outcomes in both jury and bench trials, recently obtaining a unanimous 12-0 defense jury verdict that found no liability for the client after a six-week Zoom trial. Mhare has also successfully represented clients in arbitration, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
Mhare approaches each matter with meticulous preparation, a thoughtful decision-making process, and the tenacity that is critical to achieve success. He recognizes the specific characteristics of each piece of business litigation and adopts a trial-ready strategy from the outset to achieve the best result for the client.
While Mhare represents clients in a wide variety of industries, he works most frequently with those in manufacturing, technology, financial services and real estate. In addition to litigation, Mhare brings his agility as a problem solver to many clients by serving as their sole outside counsel and first point of legal contact.
