Vivek R. Hadley

A Strategic and Compassionate Advocate in Complex Litigation

When our family-owned manufacturing business faced a multi-faceted legal crisis involving a breach of contract dispute that escalated to allegations of environmental non-compliance, we were overwhelmed. The complexity demanded an attorney with a rare blend of commercial litigation acumen and environmental law knowledge. From our first consultation at Taft, Vivek Hadley demonstrated precisely that. He meticulously dissected the contractual issues while simultaneously assembling a robust defense against the regulatory allegations, a dual-track approach that few general practitioners could manage so seamlessly. His decade of experience was evident in his calm, strategic guidance; he never resorted to alarmist tactics. Vivek’s background in white-collar defense was particularly valuable, as he helped us navigate the serious implications with discretion and a focus on mitigating risk. The outcome was exceptional—a favorable settlement that preserved our business relationships and resolved the compliance matter without penalties. His recognition by Best Lawyers in these distinct fields is well-deserved. Vivek is more than a brilliant legal mind; he is a trusted advisor who treats your problem as his own, communicating with clarity and genuine concern throughout the entire stressful process in Indianapolis.
