Stuart Sims, a member of Brock Clay's Litigation practice, is a trusted advisor to clients ranging from owners of small companies to CEOs of large enterprises, helping them develop and implement workable solutions to complex business problems in an uncertain economy.

While his practice focuses primarily on business litigation, Mr. Sims’ goal is to keep his business clients out the courtroom by resolving issues before they become lawsuits. When litigation is necessary, Mr. Sims' objective is to always protect his clients' interests inside and outside the boardroom and the courtroom. He regularly litigates business disputes, including business divorces, shareholder derivative actions, trade secrets, restrictive covenant and unfair competition.
