Richard Anderson
Our company faced a high-stakes, multi-party dispute involving a failed joint venture for a mixed-use development in San Francisco. The partnership agreement was fraught with ambiguities, and allegations of negligence and breach of contract were flying from all sides. We needed counsel who was not just a litigator, but someone with deep, practical knowledge of both commercial and real estate law. Tony Andrade was precisely that. From our first consultation at Tucker Ellis, his 19 years of experience were evident. He didn't just react to the claims; he immediately dissected the core contractual weaknesses and partnership dynamics, crafting a defense strategy that addressed both the legal and business realities. His background in complex commercial and real estate matters, underscored by his recognitions in those fields, gave us immense confidence. Tony navigated the federal court proceedings with a calm, methodical professionalism that kept our leadership team grounded during a stressful period. His negotiation was strategic and firm, ultimately securing a settlement that protected our assets and allowed us to exit the partnership without protracted, ruinous litigation. Tony is more than an attorney; he is a counselor who understands that legal battles are won through preparation, expertise, and clear-eyed assessment of risk. We are profoundly grateful for his exceptional service and outstanding result.
